I think if you asked 1000 hockey experts, the vast majority would say Toby is better than Chiarot and Morrow, both of whom played a lot less pro games then Toby. The argument that no NHL team wanted Toby when the argument is him vs those guys doest hold a lot of water since the only team that wanted them seems to be the Jets.
I like both guys, but we're missing Toby's skill set more than we're benefiting from Chairot's and Morrow. Im not even criticizing the decision to walk away from Toby...there is age, money, injuries etc that play a part. But we're missing his skillset right now. Perhaps Niku comes in and provides that same skill set in a younger, cheaper, faster package. Then it's moot.
I recall reading Toby had interest from other teams but chose to go home. Who knows.
