It wasn't a wise move? HA! You must have absolutely
no clue how much us Leaf fans love Dougy G. He is a hero here in Toronto. It
is a wise move because a) Leafs did not give up much, only a bad draft pick, b) Leafs needed at least one more forward for the playoffs, and Dougy is just the man for the job, and c) Dougy wants to finish his career in Toronto and he has one more chance at winning the cup.

I don't see how he's going to add much spark to the leafs.

Dougy will add spark in two ways : By scoring goals, and by creating atmosphere in the stands. All Dougy has to do it touch the puck, and the crowd will go crazy. This will get the team even more pumped up than they allready are. And if Dougy scores! WOWZERS. I really do not think you will hear the Leaf fans cheer any louder. And this guy is their old captain, and many of the Leaf players have high respect for him and have allready played with him on another team. Trust me. Dougy G will spark the Leafs, even if he doesn't score much.

Douggy should've stayed in Montreal.

Why? So he could play golf during the playoffs, and then retire in the offseason? Montreal has a chance at making the playoffs, but I really do not think that they will beat out the Rangers/Islanders/Panters. And, this would have been Dougy's last season in the NHL if he would have stayed with the Habs. Now that he is a Leaf, he might play another season (or two at the
MAX), depending on how well the Leafs do in the playoffs.
