might be more to the deal as Flyers are still talking with CBJ, source says

If the Leafs draft a defenseman over a centre I will be very pissed, we have one, count it people, one pure centre prospect in the whole system with a little offensive talent, it is a one huge organizational need, we have to start to get some of them in the system for development.

No where else for Luongo to go.

Why do I get the feeling that Burke is targeting Matt Dumba? Just seems like a player he would like

The Vancouver Canucks are reportedly fielding calls for both Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider:

Depends.

Burke drafts a Dman, trades Schenn and Franson for a 1st line C.

I think its all a diversion.......... Burke can't be that stupid.

He better not be that stupid

Nothing is adding up. Usually we hear about real possible trades that Burke is working on. It's too quiet from Burke. I have a feeling something big is going to happen - just not sure if we'll need the suicide hotline to deal with it or not.

Still does not address the need in the system, we have practically no one at that position with talent.

some people think the only thing that matters is at the top of the franchise structure.. well folks.. let me put it this way

if you put an oak tree in the ground with a birch's root system.. the whole thing crashes down

There's nothing stupid about taking the BPA. These kids aren't going to be impact NHL'ers for 4 or 5 years ...who's to even say what the lineup will look like then.

Yeah, getting a number one centre thru trade is fine for some but we have no one that can possibly help down the line or in case we need one to fill in due to injury, we have to build up that part of the system or the Leafs will be in an never ending loop of a problem.

they have the money, the cap space and.. truthfully.. i am going to take the ass. GMs word over any media guy trying to get hits on his twitter account

if gillis doesnt get the price he wants for his goalie (be it schneider or luongo) then he wont move them.. why would he? because it will create a problem in the room? BS. thats media nonsense to try to drum up a story in the offseason.. nothing more.

the prospect system needs to be built BEFORE the big club

its nice if you can make a few nifty moves and do both.. but never abandon the development structure to fix the problem at the top

i disagree with the people who say the big club comes first.. thats the attitude the leafs have taken since the late 70's.. and look where it has got them

I agree - its quiet... and I'm glad its quiet

It was quiet before the Phaneuf and Giguerre deals as well.

That means the dinks in the T.O. media are on the outside looking in... excellent.

BTW - anyone know if Berger has had his press pass revoked?
