who's handing out the crazy pills around here?

Burke at work again, trading 3rd rounder for tough guy Brandon Bollig. Whose kidding who, Burkie runs the show there.

I didn't get any!

Because he's now left the Leafs, Gunnar will be glorified, but the truth is, he was pretty terrible last season.

Ummmmmm.......

quit being truculent

Polak at his price, or re-sign Mark Fraser for 1.5 million cheaper?

Again, not saying Polak isnt' better than Fraser.

Where's our next trade?

Gunnarsson is better than Polak imo. I don't like this move. I think Gunnar got a bad rap in Toronto. I think if anyone was adding a 4th, it should have been STL.

Not to say that Polak is bad, or that the whole thing is a make or break trade. I just can see the need for such a deal.

Gunnar really isn't very good. He does nothing. He's regressed in the past 3 or 4 years

Polak can play at the NHL, Fraser not so much.

I know Polak fits what the Leafs want, but to go from sheltered minutes in Hitchcock's system to a bigger role in Carlyle's will be a challenge.

I'm just confused: I feel like the cost to acquire is driving expectations for Polak. He's still likely a bottom pairing guy in Toronto. Same deal with Oilers fans who believe that just because we majorly overpayed Nikitin it means he's going to be a top 4 contributor.

I like this trade....Polak won't let a forward stand in front of Bernier for a whole minute....like Gunnarson did constantly last year....
