Again remember who the assistant GM was at the time.
- Frosty_Nipples

Exactly, assistant gm.

Doesn't matter who was doing the grunt work, nothing happens unless it gets the gm's stamp of approval.

You can thank Brian Burke for the state of the leafs today, whether its a good state or a bad one. I'm going with good.

they make all these flashy moves which I think a lot of fans like but, is that team a lock to make the playoffs? The defense is meh and the goaltending is still poop.

Oh ya, I agree.

no he doesn't.

ok 37% of comcast spectacor.

I think it was just the aura of Burke that brought such failure. Nonis was probably the one making all the decisions..lol

you mean gayness?

no he doesn't.

I need a ban hammer for comments like this

it's an upgrade to Bozak. Bolland replaces Grabo.

Hearing that Claude Giroux and the Flyers are close to agreeing to an 8-yr deal worth north of $8 M a year...

HOW CAN THEY AFFORD TO DO THIS!?!?!?

24.5 million: Resign Kadri(3.5) Gunnarsson(2.5) Franson (2.5) Colborne (1.25) Bernier (2.5): Total $12.25

Leaves 12.25 to sign 4 players?

JVR - ? - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - ?
Kulemin - Bolland - ?
Orr - McClement - Hamilton
Colborne

Phaneuf - ?
Gunnarsson - Franson
Gardiner - Liles
Holzer/Blacker

Sure, we have lots of capspace... but no players... not a good day

Who, Neon?
No thank you, we no longer have the prime trade pieces in Raymond and Ballard to offer.

You were talking about Riberio.

Buying out Grabovski will come back and bite the Leafs.

Super human Nazi powers

Again, you are wrong.
And it works both ways buddy....
If you are saying its Nonis team that made the playoffs because he was working most of the deals behind the scenes....than it was also nonis team that didn't make the playoffs for all those years.
- Fakepartofme

Only the captain goes down with the ship. Everybody else jumps off. Burkies failure! He admitted it like a man.

you are right though as much as we debate. It just didn't click with Burke here. He did get very lucky with some of the moves he made, ie Gardiner and Lupul

Snyder was the one who brought Bettmen to the NHL, do the math. lol

WTF you talking about.. Bozak is the #2 best player on this team..

You were talking about Riberio.
- bixll

In reference to him joining the Nucks, we are trying to get younger and less douchy.
