I've never understood the typical Leafs fans' adoration of Wade Belak. He contributes *nothing* offensively, and is nowhere near mobile enough to play defence in the new NHL. He's a -9 so far this season, which ties him for the lowest +/- on the team. I don't know how he manages to hang onto his job.

Belak is now a forward. Which is where he should have been all along... even if I did think it was a good move to have him play D. I was very wrong there. He's a good checker, and he can shut down big guys on the other team. Not fast guys, big ones. He has a place on the team, playing 6 or 7 minutes a night, fourth line.
