Interest in the West for Jason Allison
A report from XM radio indicated Jason Allison has received some offers from “western conference teams.” Spectors hockey suggests the Phoenix Coyotes may be one of the teams interested and could be offering him more money than he earned as a base salary with the Leafs last season.
At almost a point per game Allison is one of a few noteworthy free agents remaining. Although he was critisized by many for his play last year, he earned most of his points on the power play, playing on Toronto’s top PP unit, which was ranked 2nd in the league. He could provide a big boost to someone’s special teams if they take a chance on him.
Other noteable free agents include veterans Bondra and Leetch, and the injured Daze and Val Bure.
