Yeah that's the thing.
He'd rip Wilson, then when Wilson comes on, he kisses his ass.
same for Burke, same for Phaneuf.

BTW how is Calgary going to sign White? Has Watters talked about that?

Burke going for 1st overall?...
"Just looking at the information floating around. Mapleleafs twitter releases rumour of “Bozak, Kulemin and Kaberle for 1st overall and high salaried player.” That, in itself, is crazy. But I would have called the Phaneuf trade insane if someone had suggested it prior to it happening. Now, Darren Dreger reports that the Florida Panthers are shopping the 15th overall pick (acquired from Boston in the Horton trade) and the Oilers are gunning for it. Could it possibly be that the rumour is correct? With media claiming Burke looks far too comfortable and is interviewing first round prospects, he might have something substantial up his sleeve. Now with the Oilers chasing the 15th overall pick, could it be as a replacement for their 1st overall that could be moved tomorrow to Toronto? With the depth the Oilers have in prospects and 48M tied up on 14 players, alleviating cap and acquiring young talent with Kaberle just might be more than wishful thinking."

Not sure if this has been posted yet....but i would do it. It seems like a lot to give up but in the end we a highly skilled player which we sorely lack.

Burke already said he hasn't discussed anything with Tambellini for the 1st overall. Bogus rumour.

tpanotch RE: Hamhuis ... Flyers are NOT dealing his rights at draft. Want more time to work a deal. If nothing next week, he'll be dealt.

Not sure if I believe that rumour.
Burke had specifically that he does wants immediate help and wont gun for draft choices. Getting the top pick and losing those roster players would basically mean we are back to square one. We may have gotten a terrific player but that doesnt ensure we have become better for 10/11.

The only trade Edmonton would make is dropping to #2 overall to take Seguin, and Boston took Hall. They won't trade their pick for anything other than that.

We'd have to take Horcoff for sure if that happened. Which it won't.

This is a typical example when the sexiness of having the "1st overall pick" far outweights its true value.
What is the realistic expectation of Taylor Hall?? A 35G scorer? 40G? Even if he's a 50G scorer, you do NOT trade Kaberle, Bozak, Kulemin AND take on a big contract for him.
MAF was a 1st overall pick. Will you trade that package for him?
Will you trade that package for Stamkos, as good as he's been?

Burke's already said there was no truth to that and he hasn't talked to Tambellini at all about the pick. It came from Paul Hendrick.

Trading a first round pick is more dangerous because fans would want to riot. They buy into the #1 overall hype as the answer to a future cup win.

You have to pay up for first overall picks. Sure there is a lot of hype behind them but there is reason for it. You could have a bust on your hands or you could have the next sensation. First overall's tend to more than busts.
I think it a price worth paying since Kabs is more than likely gone, Kulemin is asking for too much and Bozak while good, is nothing special.
I'd do it.
