I'm positive about next season. Burke will probably make another big move, but even if he doesn't, we'll certainly be better than last season. Significantly so I reckon.
Can't be much worse tbf......

sleep with strangers and get into a big fight with a complete stranger that I just crossed antlers with.
Training camp is still more than two months away, but the heavy lifting has already begun in Nazem Kadri’s bid to become a Maple Leaf.
Quite literally, in fact.
Since the beginning of June, the most exciting rookie prospect on the roster has been arriving at the Air Canada Centre at 8 a.m., four days a week.
There, under the watchful eye of Leafs strength and conditioning coach, Anthony Belza, Kadri is doing the hard time necessary to transform his body from that of a junior boy to an NHL man.
“He’s done a fantastic job of building up muscle and he’s trimmed down his body fat,” Leafs director of player development, Jim Hughes, said Friday in an interview. “It’s early, so we don’t need him to do anything on the ice. Right now, strength and conditioning is the most important thing.”
“(Kadri’s weight) is 186 pounds right now and that’s 186 and strong,” Hughes said. “We certainly believe he’s moving in the right direction.”
...
In an interview with the Toronto Sun during the OHL playoffs, Kadri said he was tipping it at 179, so he is headed in the right direction.
An added benefit of the summer sweat school is exposing Kadri to working alongside proven pros. Luke Schenn, Tyler Bozak and other Leafs regulars have been on hand, as was Dion Phaneuf when he was in town to be feted for his captaincy.
I thought we just had a few pages of discussion on this? Maybe another thread??
That's damn near 20lbs since the day we drafted him.
Definitely Poni and Tucker.A couple of ex-Leafs apparently got misty-eyed on Canada Day, too. Asked if any of the numerous unrestricted Leafs had picked up the phone, Burke said he heard from at least two of their agents, though he refused to divulge any player names. Not that it would have mattered.
“We’re moving forward now,” Burke said.

Alright, let's guess.
Bad all around, but the worst part is Gags in Leaf blue. RT @sbaicker: Gagne for J-S Giguere is the latest rumor I'm being told.
uh oh..
According to Travis Hughes (whoever that is).
