Depend's on the player's personality. Some guys like the attention, and like to hear how they're the best.

Burke's a lawyer... he knows the power of words. He never proclaimed Kadri as the guy he would have taken 1st overall... or any of his other picks for that matter. It's not like he runs around saying this about everybody.

Burke has a big mouth period. Lawyer or not he opens it way too often. He is a decent GM ,but when you proclaim two years in a row you are going after the number one overall and fall empty you get the reputation of a blowhard . He is fun for the media but the average fan is tired of his schtick .

Rielly may love the opportunity at first but when he sees all the jokes being made every time he screws up, can not help his career.

It is your team, but if Scrivens was one of my teams starting goalies ,I would not be thrilled. If you are happy with him and think he is the answer to the puzzle, then enjoy.

If he didn't try to trade up, like he did with Pronger and Sedin, would he not be doing his job? Does proclaiming to fans that he's going to try and trade up and perform his duties as an agressive GM make him a blowhard when he fails? I think not because he has been successful at times trading up in the past...therefore it isn't schtick you ID

Exactly, it is not your team, and you know nothing about it. Saying Scrivens isn't ready because of three games this year, after a full stellar year.

Rielly is a great pick , but Burkie didn't need to add pressure to the kid by saying he would have taken him first overall. Just that one sentence will put all kinds of pressure on the kid as the rest of the league is now watching for his mistakes .
- VANTEL

If he can't handle that pressure then I doubt he'd ever be a good player anyway. I doubt it'll have any effect to be honest.

In three years with Luongo Gardiner Rielly and Franson that will be a nice combo on the back end. They just need to get one more solid D and Leaf Fans will be excited

And resign Kessel and add 5 more top 6 forwards, including a 1st line center.

And get a legit number 1 goalie.

easy.

You're making this a bit to easy... I never said Scrivens was a Grade A goalie. But after last year, he is ready for a chance.

We differ in opinions. If Reimer and Scrivens are your goalies you will miss the playoffs again . If you have Lu as a starter of 60 games you will make the playoffs. Scrivens will make any team a bottom 5 team.

Bottom ok for another yr or 2... ...We understand that u as a nuck fan are trying to sell Lou..

Most Leaf fans would prefer not trading picks and prospects for a shot at stumbling into the playoff's..

Lou doesn't make the Leafs a contender, there no doubt the Leafs need a goaltender but there others needs just as if not more imp...

They go nowhere without a #1 center....

You make is sound like such a sure thing. I believe the Leafs could make the playoffs without Louongo. There are many reasons why I'd rather go into the year with Scrivens and Riemer.

First of all as a Nuck fan I know Lu will not be on the Canucks this year. So whether he is a Leaf ,Oiler ,Blue Jacket or playing in the AHL we know he will not be on our team.His shipped sailed when he shot his mouth off the second time saying he wanted to play for FLA. So he is not our problem.

No Canuck fan in his right mind is trying to sell him for top end prospects or high end players. He will fetch a mid range prospect and a back up goalie .

If the Leafs don't want him fine he will go on waivers and Columbus will pick him up or the Oilers.

Colborne and Reimer is a very modest trade. If Burke doesn't want him then fine. Good luck picking up a true number one goalie in the next few years.

Why are Canucks fans STILL trying to sell Luongo to the Leafs.

Sell your shtick elsewhere.

You're not going to get a future #1 centre and an NHL starting goalie for Lu

Because there very little interest from other teams in Lou and his contract...Leafs need a goaltender so they constantly on a sell trip..
