On today's TSN Tradecentre '07 show (which was relatively good); the panel presented the viewers with a "list" of the top 10 most wanted players by GM's on trade deadline day.
Here is the list:
1. Bill Guerin
2. Owen Nolan
3. Sheldon Souray
4. Jason Blake
5. Martin Gelinas
6. Jamal Mayers (?)
7. Todd Bertuzzi
8. Gary Roberts
9. Georges Laraque
10. Dainius Zubrus
I heard all day long Pierre McGuire saying that it was near centaincy that the Maple Leafs would acquire...wait for it...Jamal Mayers?!
I was thinking to myself "What the hell?". He's ranked, for some reason number 6 on TSN's list ahead of Bertuzzi, Roberts, Laraque and Zubrus; all of whom are better players than Mayers.
I understand the defensive aspects involved in Mayers' game, but really, putting him ahead of those guys might want to make me define TSN as "a little out of their sanity".
Jamal Mayers has 16 points this season (7 goals and 9 assists) and on defence, is a horrible -16 despite the Blues success under new head coach Andy Murray, who took over at the midway mark of the season.
The guy has 125 points in 495 career NHL games and is -57. That's right...-57
Makes me want to not think what Gord Miller has been smoking these past few days, or McGuire for that matter stating "defensive aspects" as an asset of his...or maybe he meant "fighting"?
Take a look at this great fight with Jordin Tootoo:
Hope you enjoyed this,
