Here in the land of ridiculously low expectations, John Ferguson gets rewarded. The Toronto Maple Leafs have picked up the one-year option for 2007-2008 on the general manager's contract.
Sure, we're off to a pretty good start, but does a 12-6-4 record translate into a birth in the playoffs? Maybe, but maybe not. I think Ferguson is being rewarded for fact Andrew Raycroft hasn't been a bust. Fergie should send him flowers.
