For fans of a certain vintage, you may not be aware that Bill Watters used to be the Leafs assistant general manager before he was unceremoniously dumped for being awful at his job. How awful? Well, Don Meehan and Tie Domi almost tore his arm off reaching for the pen when Watters managed to out-negotiate himself as documented in a dodgy CBC Sports documentary:
Three weeks later, after further haggling between Watters and Meehan, Domi didn't get his $1.5 million. He got an average of $1.43 million over five years, far more than Watters had said he was willing to pay.
