splitting hairs. you can't have one without the other.

exactly, Philly is a great team right? not with swiss cheese in net they arent....

Michalek is good but always hurt and I'm not sold on Foligno. Columbus can do better than this.

They wont get any better offers then that and if they do they someone got raped

Per Jonas Siegel on twittwat: "Burke on drafting to fill an organizational need: "This is the one time in my life I've considered it. If there were a certain position available that we might try to fill it. But we usually go best-available athlete and that’s still the way I intend to go." In three separate tweets.

I'm betting Galchenyuk, with that statement. It's too black and white. Any logical Leafs fan knows the biggest hole that needs filling. There are no number 1 centers available, via UFA, none coming in the future. No team will allow one to get away for nothing. You got one, you aren't parting with it, unless you get paid handsomely. It's the Number 1 issue with the Leafs, by a mile.

There's some people suggesting Montreal takes Forsberg but I think they will take Galy

Those are their 2 primary choices.. however i read that montreal is in favour of dealing their pick, which i find hard to believe....

yeah, thats it

mmmm bendy girls...

I'll be so pumped if we get him at 5, even though everyone wants a center. I also want Dumba.
- yea-ok-buddy

Forsberg or Reinhardt would be pretty sweet too.

Galchenyuk reminds me too much of Daigle.

leafs fans would love to have lou, if not for his stupid contract, and thats a pretty dumb reason not to want him, if he gets you wins.

Seriously I cant take all the talk about teams moving their top 5 picks this year. Its almost forbidden any other year yet this year it's been mentioned about all 5 teams. I cant wait til Friday, some major moves better go down.

Forsberg or Reinhardt would be pretty sweet too.

What ???

Galchenyuk reminds me more of Ron Francis if you ask me

- coolehmon41

I wonder if there was a handshake deal, to let Galchenyuk slide, if he gets to 3. Probably has to do with letting Dudley leave early.

i will take him, gladly......

even if it means keeping that useless piece of flesh Komi.

make it happen Burke

I'd stick a finger in his ass if they asked me too let Galy slide to 5

say what you will about Luongo, the Leafs would be a playoff team with top 10 netminding, and a true #1 C of course
- truth.serum

Him and Kessel would be the stars of the team.

The amount of value he would add to the leafs would be immense. His 5.5 mill contract is a non factor if you consider how much added revenue a playoff round in Toronto would add.

Expectations will be lower in Toronto and he will return to his hart/vezina trophy form.

Loungo is not a "salary dump" and goalies of his caliber rarely become available. He's an Allstar goalie who's won everything but a cup.

You know what the gm's say......the winner of a trade Is the recipient of the best player......and Kessel aside Luongo is better than anyone on the leafs roster

Ron Francis, you are dreaming in vivid technicolor

Acquire that contract and keep Komi? Please explain.....

*hint, there is a salary cap

Why would Montreal agree to that?
- Jeffmt

Not a chance but i heard it's 50/50 between Gally and Forsberg with a slight edge to the swede but common Burke show truculence and move up

yeah, well your the minority. You would think the way leaf fans are acting, that you guys are getting bryz

Why would Montreal agree to that?
- Jeffmt

To get Dudley out of Toronto before the draft?
