JFJ- Trade Analyzer

from TSN,

With two weeks to go until the NHL Trade Deadline, TSN today announced it has acquired John Ferguson Jr. as a guest analyst for the NHL on TSN and TradeCentre 08, marking the former Toronto Maple Leafs GM’s debut as a television analyst.

“I made many trades over 10 deadlines in management with St. Louis and Toronto,” Ferguson says. “I look forward to plying a new trade with TSN this deadline.”

I made the same comment when I heard JFJ would be a consultant for the CDN World Champ team.

How in the world is the orchestrator of one of the last place teams in the NHL qualified to evaluate NHL-caliber talent?  He has proven, by no uncertain means, that he is inadequate in this regard, but evidently gets a pass because his father knew the right people.  What a shame.

Why does TSN pick up all the Leafs cast-offs?  Did they learn nothing from the Tie Domi fiasco?

I think you all may be underestimating JFJ.  Let’s don’t forget he was hogtied the whole time by MLSE
bottom line tunnel vision, while being handcuffed by the new CBA agreement and Salary Cap.

Since I think absolutely nothing of JFJ now, I suppose undersestimation is the only possibility. smile
