Holy hell...  I can't believe I did that... 

It could also mean that the GM is going to be that in title only and Shanahan would be pulling the strings.  If that's the case, good luck getting an established GM. 

Idaho... In regards to Edmonton, I really think that the McDavid pick is going to put them over the top.  Stanley cup winning teams typically have at least one Super star and then a collection on top tier or elite talent. LA -- Doughty, Kopitar, Quick CHI -- Toews/Kane, Keith, Seabrook, Hossa...

Any chance that if Strome is taken by AZ and the Leafs take Hanifin the Leafs move back into another top 10-15 pick?  Could a Kessel or Phaneuf trade net a 1st rounder that high? Leafs could then look at either Barzal or Zacha with another high pick.

Yup, that's a much clearer way of saying it...  ;D

Regarding the Leafs pick, let's assume they are looking for the an offensive forward.  McDavid, Strome and Marner appear to fit that mold but lets also assume that come time for the Leafs to pick all 3 are gone.  The only scenario where this could happen would then leave one of Eichel or Hanifin...

Don't forget that the Leafs also had the 25th pick and if my memory serves me correctly, ottawa made a trade to jump ahead of the Leafs right before that pick.  My bet is that Burkie thought puempel would be there at 25 and didn't expect any trades to jump ahead of him.

If I could afford it, I would never let my seats go.  The Leafs will once again be competitive and the seats will once again be the hottest ticket in town.  I would expect that a season ticket holder can make their money back by selling seats to games they cannot attend especially with a...

Criticism of his play and his role of captain is ok, it's the method by which it's done that is the issue.  From my point of view, the media often seems like they have their article written before the game and before actaully speaking with the players.  They know that negative sells right now so...

I know how you feel, this was me last week when the Leafs played the canes.  I live 15 min away from the arena and the only reason I went was because my wife's friends wanted to watch a hockey game with a Canadian.

That's not exactly true.  Kris Versteeg was brought in by Burkie and was traded by the deadline.

A win in Raleigh is a rare event.  I'm at every game in Raleigh and it's usually some sort of disappointment. Of course now that we're in full tank mode, the Leafs will win and put us that much further ahead of Carolina... 2011, Reimer the Goalie.

Steen and Colaiacovo for Stempniak if my memory serves...

My thoughts exactly.  I would have thought that separating the two could have allowed for the two high picks.  Jokinen is irrelevant at this point, he's here to fill a roster spot and will be gone at the end of the year if not sooner....

What was the package?

If I'm the Leafs, given that there aren't too many d-men available just yet I would be holding out for at least a 1st Rounder from someone willing to overspend to get a jump on the competition.  If we don't get a 1st, we wait until closer to the deadline and hope a bidding war breaks out and we...

Maybe that's what he wants?  The first period last night it seemed like nobody wanted to play and are just waiting for something to happen.  Either a coaching change, trade, etc.

I for one have zero interest in Yakupov unless it's a steal of a deal.  And by steal I mean a mid-round pick and/or prospect which is highly unlikely. His lack of performance, expiring contract and potential for him to bolt to the KHL all scare me.  Edmonton might be looking for a deal but...

Why is it such a bad idea to keep one of Orr or McLaren around for the odd game?  There will be games where the opposition will try to manhandle the Leafs so having one of the brutes in the stable for situations like that seems like a good idea to me. As everyday players, their times have...

New GM, new coach and Fleury making a substantial amount.  When his contract runs out after this season does Pitt want to commit to him long term?  Surely he'll be looking for a 5-6 year deal at a high number. Reimer could step in as the backup this season and be an option after this upcoming...
