Comedy Platinum out of Toronto - "Canada's Team" quest for the Cup

[mattola]

To be fair, it's been like, what, 9 years since the Leafs made a bafflingly fucking stupid trade? That's bound to end at some point right?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

This was before he got his 12th point.


Saturday night should be fun.

Brian Burke was on McCown last night and he said that when he was trying to trade for Phil Kessel Nashville and LA were also trying to get him and Burke told Boston he was going to offer sheet him (he re-acquired the Leafs’ 2nd round pick from Chicago) and that was when Boston got more serious with him about the trade and LA/Nashville backed off.

Just so everybody here is certain about just how fucking stupid this shitclown actually was, and please remember that he was negotiating with known trade-wizard Peter Chiarelli…

Compensation for a $5.5 million player in 2009: 1st, 2nd & 3rd round picks

What Burke traded to Boston for Phil Kessel: two 1st round picks and one 2nd round pick

Nobody on the show called him out for that.

Oh dear lord. Enough already, You are not getting Willy for Tanev.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

The shark tank guy was from BC, so, we'll send you him back for Tanev.

Meanwhile, in Brampton...

So, I guess Kapanen's gonna be an RFA extension problem next summer too huh?

Can we kill the cap already?

The only thing that can stop the Leafs is a lockout.

Ouch

Besides lockout, I would also add

Kerry Fraser
Boston Bruins as a playoff opponent
Dressing Jake Gardner for any Game 7

He might be scoring just enough to get himself traded unfortunately.

Why was Babcock so certain about him playing Thursday?

I'm going to that game and I don't think the Leafs have won a game I've attended since 2013 so it probably doesn't matter anyway.

He might be scoring just enough to get himself traded unfortunately.

Maybe but if the choice ends up being Kappy vs. Willie, which do you think Babcock prefers to keep around and which do you think he might not hate to see out the door? I think that's going to play a pretty big role next summer.
