If all goes as planned this kid could light it up this year and will definately play in the top 2 lines. He also has could easily make a run for rookie of the year. If we also get another top 6 forward for kaberle then the leafs have a lot to look forward in the upcoming season and making the playoffs will not be out of the question.

WE THE FANS ARE ALL SO TIRED OF GIVING AWAY OUR TOP PICKS. HOCKEY IS NOT JUST ENTERTAINMENT BUT A WAY OF LIFE FOR MANY PEOPLE. I HAVE PULLED BACK SINCE Mr. Ferguson and the G.M.'s after him have tried unsuccessfully to build with out the draft - we were all able to be patient for a number of years. I hope Burke makes the playoffs and not be in a lottery position next year. WHY DID HE NOT TRADE FOR KESSEL WITH LOTTERY PROTECTED PICKS - WAY TOO SMART AND AGAINST HIS HONOUR AND EGO.

I applaud the players for playing over their heads, but like you - find that the Habs fans (and Flyers Fans) are undoing any good will that the hockey players earn from their on-ice accomplishments. Not all fans, just the ones who take credit for the team doing well, the ones who also feel the need to belittle their opponents even after the series is over. There seems to be a an arrogance in the modern Habs fan that has not been earned and is often wielded by those who are also the worst fair-weather fans.

It's great going for the underdog. It's great to see a team with some smaller forwards succeed. Brings hope for smaller prospects like the Leaf's DiDomenico. And last time I checked, Montreal is still a Canadian team. If only the Hab fans knew when to turn off the 'obnoxious verbal diarrhea tap', I could get behind the Montreal Canadiens.

Regarding Olympic Hockey, post 1956...Yes, the rest of the Hockey World Evolved, especially Russian Hockey,but as a proud Canadian I am compelled to remind that '56 was the last time we were able to win gold with the "best of the rest" of players that we were allowed to send..Don't forget all our best players were professional and therefore inelligable to represent Canada at Olympic Level throughout the decades from then on...therefore Canada always carried that handicap,not being able to send it's best as most other nations were...Now, in the recent modern era, we are finally allowed to send our best Hockey Players!...the problem?..The rest of the world truly has caught up with us, and it's anyones game...despite the turnout this year, Teams Canada and U.S.A. are on equal footing with Russia, Sweden,Czech Rep., Finns,Slovakia,..even Germany and Switzerland are getting right up there! So I think Rogge is off base if he considers the outcomes of the last few Olympics...the competition is excellent, level of hockey is off the charts,..Plus one must wonder about the NHL sized rink used in these last Games, and how much that had to do with the success of Team Canada, and U.S.A...My original point? Had we been able to send our Best, We would have creamed all competition throughout the decades, instead of the perceived futility of our Olympic efforts throughout...It would have been the original Dream Team, You pick 'em! Thanks Guys! Hey Guys, Really enjoyed the Article.

Well on April 14, 2010, you can tell yourself that. Give it 2 years when either Hall or Seguin have been in a Bruins sweater have a couple of seasons under their belt, plus the 32nd overall in 2010 should be near ready for the NHL debut, PLUS TO's 1st in 2011 will also be one step closer to becoming an NHL'er....try justifying the deal then. Burke swung for the fences and whiffed. He blew it. Rationalize the trade all you like, but I'm not sure how many NHL GMs today would trade Seguin or Hall straight up for Kessel (not many I'm sure)...never mind with the other two draft picks factored in. Kessel wasn't worth it and as more times go by the deal will simply look worse and worse for a rebuilding Leafs team. Kessel trade still worth it? Well on April 14, 2010, you can tell yourself that.
