I wouldn't. I liked Bunts. He provided ALOT of value at 950k a year. He could score and had skill but he was more of a chuwawa than a bulldog. He slowly faded when we needed him the most down the stretch and in the playoffs last year. When weneeded him he was a none factor. Bert did the opposite down the stretch last year. We will see if Bert can really rise up come playoff time this year for the Leafs.

I like the 1 year contract on Bert. Bunts contract is reasonable as well but we needed to spend that money elsewhere... Like on a big, physical RD.

And then we used the cap on Klingberg. lol
