It's hard to know what to expect from Lamoriello, despite his many years in New Jersey.
The fact that Lou Lamoriello has been the general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs for a full year came as something of a surprise to me yesterday. I guess it felt that way because I'm still trying to figure ol' Lou out a bit. That is, I'm still on the fence about whether or not his hiring was a good idea, and that's partly because it's hard to tell where his influence begins and ends, and partly that his record with free agents and trades doesn't exactly reassure me.
