Let's see here..
JFJ has traded valuable young players and draft picks
that he said he would keep.
Let me tell you some of the awful things he came up with:
1. Andrew Raycroft for Tuukka Rask (Raycroft is a backup, Tuukka will be a good starter, if not great)
2. Jeff O'Neill for 4th rounder (Where is O'neill now? He's not playing on an NHL team)
3. 2005- Signing Eric Lindros PERIOD. (Injury prone, retired)
4. Yanic Perreault and 5th rounder for Brendan Bell and 2nd rounder (only the 2nd and 5th rounder are still with the team, but then we see Martin Biron going for
only a 2nd rounder!)
5. Tons of OVERPAID no-trade and no-movement clauses are making Toronto's future look bad.

The only good move was Antropov for $2.05 million, and that was pretty lucky.
