Leaf Rumours

That makes the Versteeg deal look worse. My perception of Versteeg has changed since the trade thanks to Player's breakdown of his TOI, so I'm not too upset about it, but IMO Burke/Nonis blew this one. This was no secret that Sweatt had signability issues. They cost themselves a decent asset here.

I wish they'd configured that trade a little differently and turned it into a blockbuster.

Versteeg, Sharp, Beach

Stalberg, Dido, Paradis, Kaberle, Caputi.

really ? trade is usually won by who gets the best player ! not only did we get the best player but this player was also very young still with a very good career ahead of him

vertseeg was a big part of the hawks being a cup contending team and eventually winning the cup


the guys we sent have done what ? oh potential to be something ! one has had stage fright for most of his first year, the other kid had a femur shattered, and the other kid was always considered a long shot even by his originally drafted team

versteeg easily upgrades over stalberg

and now with the signing of muller, he easily upgrades over dido

as for paradis its a crap shoot so too was sweatt

youll change your mind again when versteeg hits the ice and stalberg is sent to the minors for tweeking, chicago wont take his sulkiness they buried a talented kid in skille for being a hot head

Brian Burke tells us that the #Leafs have withdrawn all offers to Bill Sweatt.

WTF is this? Epic fail on BB's part.

You guys are better off with the 2nd round pick anyways. I have a feeling that Burke was kinda leaning towards taking the pick the whole time.
 
Do you guys all really think that Sweatt is so good that getting a 2nd round pick in the deal instead of him makes this a bad trade?

I'm not saying its a bad deal. Its just not prudent to throw away assets like that.
 
I thought that didn't happen anymore?

If the Leafs get a 2nd then its fine.

As far as I know it happens.

The Habs aren't going to sign David Fischer (from the same draft class) and they are going to be compensated with a 2nd round pick next draft. Sweatt was a 1st rounder was he not?
 
No. Sweatt was not a 1st round pick, so there is no compensation.

I'm also not sure if that compensatory pick applies only to the team that drafted him or whether it is moved with the player if they haven't signed yet, but it's academic.

assest have value !

somehow burke was able to shine up some more rocks and sell them as gems

should be a warrant out for burke and his robbery amongst teams including boston ! this sequin will never put up the points kessel will in their careers and for next years 1st rounder not only will it be be a ad draft year but it will be in the 20s range equalling much of nothing while kessel pots in 40 easily

Oh shit... nvm. I don't know why I thought he was a 1st.

I believe that it would go to the new team if he's traded though.

Stay off the blow.
 
Stay off the blow.
god forbid im going against the grid ! that i dont follow the minions whose main idea is based uopn absurd gestures on talk radio shows

kessel is a top player and a young one to boot ! what did you think it was going to cost to get a player of that quality ? in all honesty ?

hell even the rfa compensation states a very similar value

so whose on crack again ? go back to listening to 590 to get your opinion
 
My MLSE contact says that Stalberg will NOT play for the Hawks this year. Perhaps ever. I disagree, but...........
 
Honestly, I doubt this is much of a loss. I wasn't exactly pumped that he was part of the trade in the first place.
 
this sequin will never put up the points kessel will in their careers

Based on what exactly? Your great Lindros call back in the day? Your great Kovy call this year? Patronize me all you want, but you're acting like an idiot.

patronize ? sensitive bitch in the house ! you begin with belittling comments and now you are hurt ? lmao ! kids these days

how about knocking off the slander and honestly tell me what you thought kessel is actually worth in a trade ? poni stemp and a 4th ? lol

btw its funny that the rfa compensation states a very similar deal within what the leafs had given to boston
 
Who said I'm against acquiring Kessel dummy?

I told you to lay off the coke because you've already declared the trade a "robbery" 5 years before anyone can tell. And also your prediction of the Leafs finishing as one of the best 10 teams in the league this year.

So again, lay off the coke.
