he couldn't trade up to 4th, you think 3rd was easier?
- Big_Lightnin

He could have had Tavares if he wanted to.

Kuli will command a steep price, probably a package not one player
- shmenge

no.

Neither of us know. I said IMO in my first post. IMO I think Burke should have traded pick 7, Grabo and Kulie. That would have had them thinking anyway. IMO.

Bozak + Kulimen to Col for Stastny or Duchene.........
- billyberg10

... Stastny and Duchene are worth the same. makes sense.

- Big_Lightnin

For a Franchise #1 C??? Yeah, not like we needed one of those.

Yeah, maybe thats what Pecafan was loling......I'm somewhat torn on a kulimen/bozak for stastny trade.....I mean wtf happened to Paul? The last three years grabo's put up better numbers.

would have been overpayment at the time. He turned out to be better than projected.


But FWIW I was saying before draft he should go #2

Havent checked....can Brown occasionally chip in a goal or two? Heard much about his energy, toughness and compete level.

Grabovski did not do better than 79 points.

every 50 games or so, sure

Will Colborne become a Leaf when Bozak flies?

At the time, yep, lots would have been all over Burke for it. But if we had him now?? I still cant believe RichardHeadMan was picked #2

Really? You really couldn't figure out what I meant? I mean its a slow argument day...but come on man...

Don't count on it but he can skate well enough that he can make it to the front of the net. Depends who he plays with but his career high is 6 goals with 14 career goals in 254 games.

- mykokes

You said the last three years. Three years ago, he scored 79 points.

You also said that Grabovski outscored him and that only happened once in the last three years. By one point.

Well...at least we'll have some toughness and energy. For a 4th/3rd rounder im not mad.

Liles for Hartikainen.

Again, you're smart enough to figure out what I meant man. Like pick your battles dude. PS. Statsny has 3 more points during those three seasons....would you have been happier if i had said seasons?

Haven't read this thread...the leafs just got rid of the 3rd most penalised player this year, and the best way to improve goals against and PK is taking less penalties...as much as I admire Brown, i admire the strategy of this trade even more...

Not a chance.

he'll protect your heavyweight from fighting, as he is the first one the other teams heavyweight goes after. Then there's the dumb penalties, but you'll like Brownie

Colborne is getting more and more overrated every day. He'll be lucky if he makes the NHL much less replaces Bozak.
