The Leafs Sign Jason Allison

Leafs

When you've mismanaged yourself into a corner, you're forced to take a few gambles.  Jason Allison is one such gamble.

Although only 30 years old, Allison last played in 2002-2003 when a series of knocks to the noggin' put him on the sidelines.  At one time, Allison was a premier centre in this league, scoring 95 points in 2000-2001.  This deal can go either way.  It will either be a complete bust with Allison unable to stay healthy or a steal at 1.5 million with Allison returning to the all-star he once was.  Allison is our first free agent signing who wasn't already a Maple Leaf.  That alone is something.
