I said the same thing right after the trade went down.

And yes, JFJ does seem to have a good eye for amateur talent.

Sometimes I'm wrong on trades, but the Rask trade I hated the second I heard it. It was just so unnecesarry. The day before, I had heard Legace's agent say he'd love to play in Toronto. That's all the Leafs needed at that point.

Yep, it was unbelievable.

Makes me hope they just let the Reimer and Bernier situation play itself out too. Don't make a move either way until you have to.

Everyone wins that trade...

Tyler Seguin, 37 goals, 84 points in 80 games, and a + 16

Phil Kessel, 37 goals, 80 points in 82 games, but a - 5

And Dougie Hamilton's too.



I wonder what the leafs would look like today, if they had not made "the trade" and Seguin was their number one center.

$5,750,000 per season vs $8,000,000 leaves some room under the cap.

Perhaps not, but would they be closer than they are now?

If all 3 turn out as good as people predicted, they'd be in great shape.

Do you subscribe to the old adage that "the team that gets the best player in a trade, wins the trade"?
