inkman Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Linky Some nice excerpts: There was fury in the Leafs' executive suite because Ferguson and his aides felt Panthers general manager Jacques Martin and his assistant, Randy Sexton, brushed off a better offer from the Leafs for little more than spite. They feel Martin had no intention, despite Roberts' public stand he would only waive his no-trade clause for the Leafs or Ottawa, of making a trade with either club, but was not upfront with them about it Those around Ferguson wonder why Martin simply could not say upfront he had no intention of trading Roberts to Toronto. They wonder because of a couple things. As the head coach of Ottawa, he lost three consecutive playoff series to the Leafs and he also is great friends with former Leafs coach Pat Quinn, who was fired by Ferguson last year. Karma's a bitch, deal with it loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock DJ Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Wow. Now THAT is carrying a grudge. Funny that it happened, but sad in that Martin could have made his team even better but let personal feelings get in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
