"Two little blockbusters will not deter Burkie from taking over this draft, no sirree."

we will give him Tanner Glass for the 30th overall

Apparently they were in the Richards running, for Kadri and Kulemin.

Dreger (the Brian Burke apologist)

Leafs were also interested in Carter and Kadri was discussed, but Tor wouldn't include Kulemin to close deal for Carter

Flyers asked for Kadri and Kulemin from the Leafs for Mike Richards. Toronto said they would consider it, but never heard back from Phi.

LOL...Burke didn't pull the trigger on Kulemin and Kadri for Richards? Seriously? That is a no brainer...

I doubt it was ever available ... Burke is the master of coming out to media post major trade and covering his ass with a "we were in the running til the very end but they didnt call us back" statement

Yeah, Burke will try to cover his ass. But if he really was offered that and said he'd think about it...then he is an idiot too. Richards would have made the Leafs a playoff team next year.

Schenn is going to be better than Kadri & Kulemin. Philly got the right players from LA. I'm just surprised LA was willing to trade Schenn. I guess he wasn't untouchable after all.

Doesn't Schenn project out to be a Mike Richards type player if his development goes as planned though?

 

[naslundfan19]

Can I just LOL at Brian Burke in general? Does there even need to be a reason?

Lol @ Brian Burke

Schenn has more skill. Schenn was the MVP of the World Jrs. for a reason. He's going to be a very good player in the NHL.

Good news for Burkie, there is a GM in Toronto even worse than he is. Bryan Colangelo just fucked up another Raptors pick

Did he take another Euro?!?

 

[pixburgher66]

Did he take another Euro?!?

Good guess! Latvian?

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

Did he take another Euro?!?

Had Brandon Knight available from Kentucky, so logically he picks a Lithuanian stiff named Jonas Valanciunas.

What a clown.

 

[pixburgher66]

Ahh, Lithuanian, not Latvian. Knew there was an "L" involved.

Thats what you get for having an NBA team in Toronto

Yeah well we have about the same amount of playoff appearances and titles as the 76'ers do over our history

Let's see if Burke keeps with tradition and trades all draft picks for the next 5 years as well as any halfway decent prospects.
