Actually the Leafs were offering Cujo more than what Detroit was offering. I think he was miffed at Quinn for benching him in the olympics and going with Brodeur. Things just didn't seem the same after that and he ended up leaving.
It wasn't Cujo's fault the Wings got swept. The ran into a hot goalie Giguerre and couldn't beat him. Sadly Cujo will take the fall though in Detroit. Hall of famers and stanley cup winners Yzerman, Federov, Shanahan, Chelios, and others can do no wrong in Motown. So that leaves the new kid taking shaft for everyone.
Wonder if they will resign Federov in the summer after this debacle of a post season. Federov rejected a 5 yr 50 million offer. I think Federov wants around 12 million a year deal for multiple years locked in so the new CBA deal coming up won't affect him. It is said existing deals made before the new contractual aggreement will be grandfather claused and exempt.
Almo will be back for Saturday. I say Leafs in 6.
