Leaf Rumours

If thats the case, then how come the contending teams didnt want to give up anything more then a draft pick for him last summer?

We don't know what was offered.

And if those "draft picks" are firsts then thats close to fair value. Or Burke felt a futures package at the time wasnt worth taking a key player away from a playoff push.

Apparantly he tried to land a big centre, but failed to do so. Dregger is now reporting there will be a big trade coming down a few days after the all star break. Personally, there shouldn't be any deals made, it's not the right time. Teams arent going to part with their core players. I say Burke shouldnt do anything, except work on trying to get a contract extension done for Kaberle and Schenn. In the offseason he should make some big moves.

Whats the difference between now and then?.

I'll answer my own question.

We are poised for a huge seller's market at this deadline. The Western conference is tighter than ever before and teams who are out of it should charge kings ransom.

Yup, couldn't agree more.

Pronger, any tid bits on what this big deal is?

All I know is what Dregger reported that supposedly a big deal is coming down the pipes in the coming days. I have no clue who it is, I can only guess though. If I had to guess it'll be a player in the 24-28 year range, probably someone who has experience, someone who is 6'2 or more, and someone who has a bit of sandpaper to his game.

Clearly, nothing Burke has done has resulted in a positive effect on the Leafs going forward..

Spezza's a realistic option. It'll cost Kadri/plus, but I'm more then willing to part with him to land a true #1 in Spezza.

THis is a comment that hurts my brain

First of all spezza is injured. He wont be dealt til the summer at all.

Second Murray is in lame duck status right now. No way he's allowed to make this sort of move

Third Ottawa wont deal him withing division. let alone they're biggest rival.

I never said anything about Burke dealing for him right now, I meant down the road.

- He's the GM, he gets to decide who stays and who goes....

- Tell that to Boston, they traded us their best player for a slew of draft picks. Anything is possible.
