Burke offered Richards sixty cents on the dollar. Burke didn’t go after him, he make a statement to the league with that offer and that’s the problem in a nutshell. This team is fundamentally broken and Burke acts like he is above engaging moves that would actually take this team to the next level.

Maybe Kadri and Kulemin will become allstar talent though, what do I know.

They went for Richards and never had a chance for Kovy. And Carter, sure he’s playing now, but he’s not exactly played a huge part in the LA run. He’s rode the coattails of Brown and Quick. Other Richards (Mike) was never offered to them.

oh for crying out loud, somebody expand the damn writing space, that half an inch wide post is just dumb. There is nothing on the outer edges of this page there is no excuse to shorten the areas.

Yeah, imagine had Burke taken those 1st rounders at the deadline, he spewed on and on about not wanting to the fans futures but we’d be better off with ammo on for the trade market come draft day. They’re will be some surprises of players coming available like there are every season but he castrated our ability to improve by keeping the current cast of midcarders on the roster.

I didn’t think it possible to make me hate Grabovski but he found a way with that contract. Have to wonder if CBJ had any interest in him but were concern of his rental status at the time of a potential deal.

Cheers to a new layout,

Hate to say I told you so but didn’t I script this season two years ago? The Ledba trade briging in dead weight, an over crowded blueline with too much money it, whispers of Burke’s firing (unheard of last summer) snowballing and the discussion turning his future by season’s end?

Not to mention how great do Kovalchuk, Richards, other Richard, Doughtey (who we should have offer sheeted) and Carter look right now? They’re still playing meaningful hockey.

As for Luongo he’s not the solution to make this team better long term IMO. I’d rather see a run at Parise he would be a great long term fixture. Luongo is a panic move to get better short term. He’s the typical veteran with a couple good seasons left that MLSE settles for.

On the bright side, fingers crossed for Galchenyuk and Schultz.

Very confusing move. I dhun get it.

I think the bigger issue isn’t whether or not Scrivens will be a starter someday, or whether Lu is good or not, but what the Leafs want to do going forward. I have a hard time believing Burke would be willing to take on Lu if he believe a young kid could take the number one spot in a few years and force Lu to back up.

Also, this comment is highly anorexic already, making fun of its thin figure would just add to the problem.

Leafs have kids. I don’t buy into the thinking that BB will get another you, unproven keeper.
