I don't see much of San Jose considering I'm on the east coast, so I won't comment on what he did, or didn't accomplish. However, to leave an organization and then throw out a cheap shot and single out a player like he did with Campbell is just childish. Does he really think Kubina would have been a significant upgrade over Campbell?
I wonder what he'll have to say to the Toronto brass considering they're rumored to still be shopping Kubina as far as I know.
Leafs will trade Kubina and sign Campbell as a UFA.
Some of you need to watch the press conference before you post. All Ron Wilson said was had Kubina been on the Sharks he probably wouldn't be coaching the Leafs right now. Now for all we know he could be referring to having Kubina and Campbell both playing for the Sharks. The addition of one players doesn't guarantee a cup, but it sure makes it more likely. Wilson obviously thinks highly of Kubina and felt he would help the Sharks achieve their goal.
He'll fail to win a game with the Leafs. That's how bad Toronto really is.
Before you get toooo cocky - correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Canucks finish with only 5 more points than TO last year? Didn't both teams fail to make the playoffs?
Besides, even if we were THAT bad, Toskala alone will steal at least ONE game for us

Glad someone's considered that this may be what he meant instead of just assuming it was a cheap-shot at Campbell. He didn't say "If we'd gotten Kubina instead of that bum Brian Campbell....."
I took it as him meaning if they had BOTH guys, never even considered it a shot at Campbell until it was suggested here
I don't think they'd have ever had both blueliners. If they picked up Kubina the day before the deadline, I doubt they'd have gone after Campbell as well.

Thank you.It was an innocent comment, not a shot at Campbell, but rather praise for Kubina. He was talking about his high opinions of some of the players on the team, and Kubina's name came up which he clearly indicated he was almost a Shark, and said that he might not be the coach of the Leafs if he had been, meaning Kubina would have brought enough talent to the team to push them into the playoffs.
I think the more scathing remarks were the ones he DIDN'T make... McCabe was conspicuous in his absence...
That's implying Campbell actually did anything offensively.
He was bad in the playoffs, but without him, the Sharks probably finish between fourth and seventh, and get eliminated in the first round. Pavel Kubina is nothing special in the offensive end. He has 6 points in 38 career playoff games.
He said that if he got Kubina on the Sharks then he probably wouldn't have been at the press conference today.
Take that, Brian Campbell.
Classic Wilson. It's never his fault, he won't take the blame for anything and he'll give you excuse after excuse. If you don't hold yourself accountable...

Where's the "take that Campbell" coming from? Did he say if he got Kubina INSTEAD of Campbell?
If not...it simply means he valued Kubina.
Ron Wilson is going to do wonders for the Leafs. He's a hardass, but he can coach.
