Ex-Leaf GM Ferguson hired by Sharks

John Ferguson Jr. was named Sunday night as director of pro scouting for the San Jose Sharks, the team his late father worked 11 years for prior to his passing in 2007.

It was just six months ago that Ferguson was sent packing after bludgeoning with free agents signings like Jason Blake, Bryan McCabe, Ed Belfour, Jason Allison, trading away draft picks and giving everyone but the valet parking attendants no trade contracts.

Swapping JFJ for Ron Wilson. I'll take that any day.
