But resigning Tucker was an absolute no-brainer (did you see how many goals he scored last year?). Antropov has always had this kind of talent, and the Leafs have got a reasonable stable of young players. They're not headed towards a Stanley Cup, but they're not heading towards 2006 Flyers-type implosion either.

totally disagree with the tucker/ antropov comments.
how many leafs games have you seen over the past 3 yrs? i'm gonna guess less then 10. Antropov was the worst skater on the leafs, always seemed out of position and had no hands. he was considered a huge bust. this year is a complete transition- ive never seen a player improve as much as he has.
tucker scored a lot of power play goals on unit with sundin, mccabe and kaberle. I'm sorry, but he's horrible at even strength, he takes way too many dumb penalties, and all of his goals on the power play were tap ins- he'd be easily replaceable.
