Leaf Rumours

[zeke]

we are so giving the Bruins another top-4 pick.

for ****'s sake.

yeah, that burns really bad. what would really, really, really suck is if he goes to boston for blake wheeler and some shit like that.

Unless...Burke is somehow getting our pick back from Boston. Then this selling off of skill for a couple of picks would make sense.

Yup, which is why I don't get Burke giving all these players up for picks. Now isnt the right time to do that, this is the time where we put the petal to the medal and climb as far out of the lottery as possible. Once the season is over, then Burke can go nuts and give up everyone for picks, just not right now.

 

[Metalleaf]

Burke's only traded one player for picks so far.

Ummm.... he's traded 2. He did get a pick as part of the deal for Beauchimen.

 

[hockeylover]

Two now. Beauch and Versteeg.

 

[Metalleaf]

so? Don't discount Lupul...it changes the context of the trade.

 

[uncus]

trading Kaberle for the leafs first pick is a win/win solution for both teams.
Can see that third for a high salaried player being someone like Campbell from chicago. He could then take Kaberles spot for a puck moving dman.

As far as I'm concerned Lupul was just a salary dump, the key player to this deal was Gardiner (Burke is really high on the guy).

Can see Kadri getting another kick at ther can up here too.

I wouldnt mind seeing Kadri up, look the playoffs are done, this is audition time for next year. Crabb and Boyce thanks for your service but its time to move on.

Lupul- Grabo- Kessel
Kulemin-Kadri-Mccarthur
Caputi Bozak Armstrong
Mueller Hanson- Rosehill

Im pretty sure when Kaberle's agent wanted secrecy and silence, he didnt mean tell everyone you've got a secret. Sort of defeats the purpose

So true.

Burke loves to hear the sound of his own voice.

Burke's problem is he's too honest, to the point it backfires on him.

 

[The Green Hornet]

you are just an expert on everything arent you? even so in touch with burkes thoughts and feelings

No offence but your coming off as paranoid here. All I said was Burke has a tendency to be too honest at times, I never said I knew whats going on in his head. Talk about making a mountain out of a moehill here.....

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

I am willing to pitch 2$ to buy a book on sarcasm for pronger....Anyone else?

The third-round pick, meanwhile, could already have a taker, with a forward carrying a sizable salary expected in return.

Who is it?!?
