Deep down inside, you know what i am saying is truth, you can't deny. Leafs are in the history in the making for worng reason. The 1st team to not make playoff from cba to cba. What next cba to cba to cba?

As I have said earlier, they have been brutal after the last CBA. Finally they are doing something positive, and I hope they do not rush it. The Kessel trade was completed a bit early in the stages of the rebuild. They overvalued the team they had.

That being said, they got a 21 yr old at the time who is turning into a great player. The two firsts turned into Seguin & Hamilton. We have no idea what Hamilton will or will not do. The other pick was Knight, who most likely is a 4th line player at best.

If this trade with Boston did not happen, they wouldn't have been so free to trade for Kaberle and give Toronto Colborne, 1st, 2nd.

So in the end the trade was Seguin, Hamilton, Knight, Kaberle for Kessel, Colborne, Biggs, Liles.

I honestly can't understand what you are saying... what are you, 4?

UGH

I just barfed! this is why I give Burke all the patience in the world. He had to take over for a GM that did things like this.

Exactly!! Genius comment dude!!!

Ya, I laughed when people started saying JVR was going to be our top centerman...

And I hope you enjoy Schenn... I am sad to see him go. He may not have the best hands but he hits like a truck, blocks shots, will drop the gloves for his teamates in a sec, and is a class guy.... I miss him already!
- Hockey_Reverend

Thank you. He sounds like a player I will grow to love. Hope you enjoy JVR as well. Hopefully he pans out as the consistent 40+ goal scorer that I saw in him.

I absolutely dont see JVR working out as a center. I laughed when I heard that and thought it was a joke. However, there arent many people higher on JVR than I am. I firmly believed that the flyers werent being patient with him. Injuries didnt help. Before the trade went down, I saw JVR scoring 30+ goals next year esepcially if he got sufficient time playing next the Giroux. I think before his first injury last year, he was on pace for 33 goals. He's got a big shot too which resulted in Philly trying him out on the point. It was a fine idea in my book but he didnt look comfortable on the point, and is better served down low IMO.. Overall though, JVR needs to work on his consistency and defensive aspects of his game. Deep down I feel like this is a trade the Flyers will regret. I just hope Luke makes it easier to swallow.

I'm sorry.

But he won't. Luke Schenn is nothing more than a #3-4 D that gives good bodychecks and blocks shots. He's also slow and not that reliable imo.

No, he's not, I can understand 4 year olds.

I think he means immigrant as in someone who is not a native of Toronto, not someone of an ethnic minority.

I honestly think Hamilton is the reason Boston wins the whole thing... even if you put the 2 trades together.

Big fan of this young player and it pains me to see him play for Boston.

He is great. I dont know about all the other Leafs fans, but I was sad to hear he had been traded. I thought he was going to be a Leaf for life. He is just that kind of player...

No, he's not, I can understand 4 year olds.

That's impressive.

Yes...

Well it's gotta be true if freaky said so.

So let it be written, so let it be done.
