More on NHL numbers- Leafs vs Bryan McCabe

I thought that this was a funny thing to see on the wire first thing this morning when the last item I posted yesterday was about the NUMBERS of the game nowadays. Read below for the proof in the pudding!





Toronto Maple Leafs look to cut ties with defenceman Bryan McCabe





TORONTO - The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking for a way to cut ties with veteran defenceman Bryan McCabe.





The team has been working for almost a month on convincing McCabe to soften his stance on the no-trade, no-movement clause in his contract - with no success.





`We've asked (McCabe's agent Ian Pulver) about teams they would accept a trade to, but they said they wouldn't accept a trade, and that (the Leafs) should buy Bryan out,' Leafs GM Cliff Fletcher told the Toronto Star on Thursday.





'That's where it stands. There's a long time before camp and we'll see if we can resolve this closer to camp.'





Fletcher, through assistant Jeff Jackson, told Pulver the Leafs have no intention of absorbing the salary cap hit on the remaining three seasons of McCabe's contract. McCabe is owed US$6.15 million for next season and $4.15 million in each of the final two seasons.





Under a buyout scenario the Leafs would absorb two-thirds of the remaining salary and, according to a report on TSN's website, a $2-million signing bonus that has to be paid by Sept. 15.

The BC Bike Race comes to Port Alberni this weekend. Check it all out on their website HERE

Sunday is day two of the race, which sees the riders travel from Cowichan Lake to Port Alberni. I am not sure what the riders ETA is at Bob Dailey stadium, but it will be quite the site to see with all of the tents set up. If I can find out a estimated time of their arrival on Sunday, I'll post it here.

That's it for now!
