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?

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.

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

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.
