Your quite the dreamer thinking Perry and Parise would/will come to Leafs. Nothing wrong with that, could happen, that would be a dream team for you guys.

Seriously.


The NHL and CBC have to know that fans really dislike Nickelback. So why would they get them to play?

- jbold



There was a campaign/petition in Detroit prior to last years Turkey bowl (Packers/Lions) when people found out Nickelback were playing the half time show.

Nascar races is where they should play and it should be the only places they play.

If Gally goes to Montreal, I will truly believe the Hockey Gods hate the Leafs.
- Phenom


really? because the Leafs would have had a better version of Galchenyuk in Seguin without the Kessel trade. hockey gods don't hate the Leafs. Leafs just make bad decisions.

I can't see the leafs doing much this weekend, hope I'm wrong but I'm guessing thing will only pick up after July 1st. Burkie needs to be patient, aquire the many pieces missing (1C, 1G, botom 6 depth) when the right deal presents itself. Trying to go all out this summer and taking the 'best available' will be a mistake and prevent this team from taking the next step (competing for a cup). Even if Burke did go out and get the best avaible this offseason I don't believe we are a cup contender.... so what's the rush?

Draft a solid prospect at 5th
Kick the tires on said position and pull the trigger only if the price is right!
Do not trade any 2013 picks

The only thing is that if that happens, once again Burke won't be doing what he said at the season end press conference he would be doing - getting a goalie, making trades, yadda yadda yadda. It's been that way from the very start - say this, not deliver on it, then make excuses - a victim of his own big fat mouth.

it really saddens me to see how bad the Toronto Smelly Laughs are !

i cheer for all the Canadian clubs but, geez Louise, the Leafs suck

it will be interesting to see what centre and goalie Burke can get, if any, at all...

Marty Turco?

True but he has to swallow his pride and do what's best for the franchise not his reputation... Having said that I actually like the depth and about 80 percent of the moves he has made since becoming our Gm.

Just got to stay the course things are starting to shape up

James Mirtle‏@mirtle

Jake Gardiner makes all rookie team with Faulk, Landeskog, Henrique, Nugent-Hopkins and Enroth.

Gardiner was robbed of the Norris

Burke will pick Forsberg
- peddy-93


whoever. BB and the rest of management need to understand that these top picks are rare, and they need to get the best player available, forward or defense. i'm personally hoping for galy, but doubt he'll be there at 5. wouldn't mind murry though. could potentially see a future d corps of:

phaneuf Gunnarsson
gardiner shultz
schenn murray

At least your team isn't the one contributing the 2/3 portion of the combined 60+ years of futility.

Yeah the only thing thats different is that this year is Burkes contract year. Sure he got rid of some "unmoveable" contracts, and actually got leafs some prospects. But he also took some risks that ended up being bad moves see- komi, conolly, kessel (dont say you wouldnt rather have seguin, hamilton, or knight). This year is do or die for burke

I see burke risking it all in a craps shoot and doing pressure deals that might have more short term benifits and contradict his previous stance. Luongo is now possible. Lets face it even if you don't win the cup with him, its easier to attract free agents in the future if the team has a goalie capable of making the playoffs. You have to aquire elite talent to attract elite talent. I dont think anyone says man I wish I could be on kessels team

It's upsetting when a doucheclown like Pacioretty wins an award he shouldn't.
