At least it's falling apart now....lottery pick coming I hope, but what pisses me off is Burke said this group could make the playoffs, and there was no decent trades to be made.....maybe there were just. No yanks available? Just makes me wonder, he is willing to move heaven and earth for a boy from the ole US of A.....there are many changes needed to this team come off season...but will Burke do the right thing and clean house???? I doubt it .....he will over pay again for a few yanks and send this team into eight years playoff free.

MLSE please send Mr.Burke on his way, appoint Dave Nonnis GM.....allow this team to build through the draft and making a few trades...who knows maybe the playoffs in a few years god knows we've waited this long for a "CUP" what's a few more years to watch the real show

Were getting gally tops... Which would be good but still he wont be ready next year...Hes good and he will help our skill level and give us a # 1 center but if we can trade that pick with Franson for Brayden Schenn... Whos the brother of Luke, can play first line next year and has heart and grit. I would do that... I know hes not having a great year point wise but he will do better next year and he would fit in nice in our core group.

Draft= best available player. Free agency/trades= current roster needs.

thats true but with the lack of d in their system, they were probably scouting murray, dumba and such pretty hard and may feel they are better then grigorenko and such

Franson and a potentially top 5 pick for Brayden (frank)in Schenn?

ARE YOU (frank)ING CRAZY?

The Leafs can do WAAAY better than B. Schenn if they're willing to deal their 1st at the draft.

Flyers have Giroux Schenn and Couturier as their centers for the now and the future, why would they trade Schenn? Daniel Briere is 35 years old in October of this year and nearing the end of his career, after next season his actual salary drops dramatically. They are not trading anyone of Giroux Schenn or Couturier. Sorry.

Theres some nice prospects in the system. Not sure what they'll do.

It would appear the leafs need help on D just as badly.

So i see we fell apart in the 3rd period good for the team. Tonight we need Montreal to win or at least get a point and then we weill be 2 points ahead of them for 15th in the conference. Then we need Edmonton to continue winning the next couple of there games along with other teams and by mid week next week we should be in position to pick 2nd overall.

6 points ahead of Edmonton. The Oilers can make that up.

Also i think Burke gets fired this summer, I'm not for sure just a gut feeling especially if we end up losing the rest of the games this season which more then likely will happen.

Carlyle is worse than Wilson IMO. He's killing the one thing the Leafs had going for them, which was offense. Now, they have no offense, to go along with bad defense and average (?) goaltending.

Hope he gets fired.

Without a doubt, we currently are the WORST team in the league

I would hazard to guess that the Marlies would beat us in a series now

(frank)ing Tampa lost 3 in a row and is stubbornly refusing to pass us. Isles just 1 point back after last night

couple more donuts this weekend and we'll have our lottery pick

Minnesota's been putting up a good fight too, but they'll come around.

good cause his Jr year has likely been one he'd like to forget. Playoffs with the Marlies will get the confidence back. Ross too hopefully.

Tampa and Minn have two games in hand, the Isles and Habs have one game in hand

I still think that we will drop to the 3rd pick. We stink too much not to have a lottery pick at least.

Montreal is only 3 pts behind
