As much as I like Dominic Moore, if Aaltonen is better, you put him in vs. this Sportsnet discussion of whoeve signed him is going to look stupid if he gets subbed out.

The guy signed for 1 mil for a year it's not like they invested heavily in him. It would look more stupid to force him in if there's a better option.

wasn't listening to the panel but it's not even true, even if you get past the stupidity of the argument. oh, I'm sure they will talk endlessly about how "the signing looks stupid now!" but Aaltonen was an unknown quantity and having effective depth signed to a cheap contracts is never a bad idea.

Not bitter, just unsweetened
It's obvious Leafs made mistakes with their FA signings... again.

But they acquired those guys because they are real gud human beans. Hainsey shouldn't be here. I'd rather have borgman/rosen/dermott/carrick for the last 3 spots. Moore was a mistake but it's not like Aaltonen was as good as rosen/borgman were and our only fallback was Gauthier or Brooks (not ready yet)

Fehr still being good is putting the double wrinkle on things as he's huge and has been capable in the past

I can halfway understand the reasoning behind the Hainsey signing but I personally wasn't big on it on day 1 and a few months later I'm still not happy with it tbh. The leafs are deeper at LD than most people probably think they are, especially with the two Swedes now.

I can live with the Moore signing because it is considerably cheaper and only for 1 year but Aaltonen should be the team's #4C to start the season imo, he has flat out been the better player of the two.
