It's becoming more and more apparent that McCabe's days as a leaf are coming to an end..
Unfortunately for Leafs' fans, he's taking absolute advantage of the absurd no-movement clause in his also-absurd contract.
There's certain to be teams interested in McCabe's services. He's not a bad player; he's just not nearly as good as the contract he's playing for and his time in Toronto has gone sour. Rather than accepting that and agreeing to a trade, he (and his agent) are being far more ruthless.
In order to get rid of him, the Leafs are going to have to buy him out. He'll get two-thirds of his remaining money and be able to sign a new deal with another team. (Anyone know the protocol there? Does the new team's contract reduce the cap hit for the old team?)
Part of me wants Fletcher and the Leafs ownership to be just as ruthless: sit him until he agrees to be traded. Let him forfeit his value on the open market. Why? Because **** you, McCabe. That's why.
noob question. I'm just curious. Who would you compare McCabe to in the Raptors? Just want to know who's the "McCabe of the Raps" that some fans think has a ridiculous contract & wanna get shipped out?
