Yzerman, 4th overall. Doughty, 2nd overall. The Leafs saved the Bruins and tanked for them. The Ducks had Niedermayer and Pronger, two guys who went 2nd and 3rd overall.

Umm did the Ducks draft either of those?
no.

Remember his 4pts game (2 goals) against Tampa in game #2?
- Pecafan Fan

Then can I point to the one or two good games JVR had in a playoff series a couple of years ago to prove that he is an elite superstar?

UG doesn't want the Leafs to get a goalie because it will make them a better team.


UG complains the Leafs suck.




Hm...

Irrefutable proof.
- Two_For_Truth

Insofar as it is a true statement of fact that the LA Kings a) did finish 8th, and b) did bring in some veteran players while trading away youth, and c) did win the Stanley Cup, I'd say that, yes, this does constitute a type of proof.

Is Seguin even a 30 goal scorer yet?

Bc Phil is flirting with becoming a 40 goal scorer...
- Pen15

No ..only 29 ....thats not almost a 30 goal scorer... But 37 is almost 40

It did for the Kings and Simon Gagne.
- Atomic Wedgie

Stop it.

Hey I tried a McAuslan Apricot Wheat yesterday.

I know it was a fagghety thing to do, but it was actually kind of good.

Okay, so you have less than 30 million to fill 16 more roster spots, keeping in mind that when the cap inflates, so do player salaries. Third liners cost you 2-3 million these days.

Good luck.
- Leeman4Gilmour

Its not has bad as people think.
Ebs and Hall are signed for 6 more years.
They'll be ok.

lol which poster is UG?

The Toronto market argument is badly overstated.
- Aetherial

Everyone thought Kessel wasnt going to survive in the toronto spotlight..

Wow, what a revelation.

You really should be a reporter on 60 minutes.

A guy said he loves his job???

He said that to the media???

I guess he really would have drafted Rielly 1st if he had the pick.
- Atomic Wedgie

I'm sure he's just going to stand pat and watch his team plummets and get his ass gets fired.

Sounds exactly like something Burke would do.

What is the point here?

That Curtis Joseph wasn't a phenomenal goaltender?

One team of 30 wins the cup each year. One team. Winning one is not a prerequisite for greatness.
- Leeman4Gilmour

Phenomenal?

And do you think being GM of the Leafs is the only position that will be available to him now and in the long term?
- Pen15

I'm sure if the team tanks again, MLSE will be so pleased with him that they will promote him long term.

It makes perfect sense.

Irrefutable proof.
- Two_For_Truth

I thought you would come around to my way of thinking.

I'll tell Burkie you are on board for Luongo.

How many first round draft picks do you think is fair?

Guaranteed playoffs, bay-beee!

You may.

JVR GBOV combo is good for 50+

Nice.

I find that's just a little too fruity (and I mean that in terms of taste, not manliness) for me.

Try Magic Hat #9 - the Beer Store is now carrying it in 6 packs.

lol which poster is UG?
- Neiler

You really need that pointed out?

Umm did the Ducks draft either of those?
no.
- Fakepartofme

Don't have to draft Niedermayer when his brother is on the team and the only reason why he signs with them.

Sort of something that doesn't happen very often.

But talk to the Devils about how drafting Niedermayer worked out for them.

Better yet, ask the Leafs how Tom Kurvers is doing.

Phenomenal?
- Two_For_Truth

He will likely end up in the Hall of Fame one day. If he doesn't, he may be considered the best goalie on the outside looking in.

The guy was a top 5-10 goalie in his generation. If that doesn't constitute "phenomenal", then I'm afraid we have different definitions and you're a pretty tough guy to please.

- Leeman4Gilmour

It's horribly wrong.

And the Kings had Richards, Carter, Kopitar, Doughty, Quick...need I continue?

Let's try really hard to avoid making stupid comparisons.

- Two_For_Truth

Isn't that what you want though?

Aren't you the one on here advocating that Burke tanks the leafs this year in order to get a high draft pick?

If so, I'm sure you'll also be on here protesting his firing if he actually listens to your brilliant plan.

The World Record Moose - 75" wide & 36 points - Over 2,300 lbs - 350 yards shot






imagine your car hitting that thing?

Burke's 'ass' isn't in jeopardy over a 48 game season.

It's horribly wrong.

Both of whom were acquired by trading away highly drafted, home-grown talent and draft picks.
