I hear one of the leafs first round picks is one of the leading scores for the Dallas Stars, and has a higher PPG than Kessel.

Also there is another leaf first rounder that is leading the St Louis Blues in scoring as well, and he's also third overall int he NHL to boot.

Great. In a few years that top 5 pick the Sens gave up will definitely be better than... the ghost of Bobby Ryan?

Yep, he's a good one too.

That's what a terrible GM will do to your team.

Tell me how it feels to have that GM tearing apart your team and pulling off some of the worst trades since the days of Milbury.

The Leafs have made great trades in recent years. JFJ, a Fletcher wearing diapers will do that to you.

I'd say it's a horserace. Who's screwed the Sens more in the last year. Melnyk or Murray?

Really? Steen? Are you really gonna start bringing up guys traded away or walked for nothing? Becuase it's a pretty stellar list for the Sens. Didn't Alfredsson score a goal and an assist last night? Isn't chara STILL one of the elite Dmen in the league?

Ottawa's revenues are up this season, and with the new 12 year Rogers TV deal any " financial situation" that you're thinking about is not worth even acknowledging. Mostly wishful thinking on your part perhaps.

Doesn't mean the owner will spend a dime more.

A 12 year TV deal has incredibly little financial effect on the Sens. Especially when additional dollars over and above the current deal don't kick in for a few years.

Particularly when they're getting 15,000 in attendance. It's only getting worse for them.

oh, and their team is junk. Crap. Useless. Basement dweller.

Is your point that the leafs are terrific drafters?

Because if so, it's a good thing we still have our first.

My point is that in the past few decades, the leafs have traded away more prospects and picks that have gone on to successful NHL careers, than most other teams in the NHL.


There has always been little patience for development, given the pressures of the leafs market place. coming from the fans and the media.

Hopefully this new management team recognizes this and will not fall into what has traditionally been their default position.

Up by 30%? Enough to make a difference in the budget? the budget that they say they're over to begin with?

They've said it's money in/money out this year. If there budget has changed, why won't they do anything to help the horsecrap team?

Oh, the Sens have traded away, or let walk, a few gems too. And they just gave up a top 5 pick, a decent young player, and a prospect (granted, not one that I'm really that big on), for a 2 year rental. A TOP 5 PICK for just two years of any player is absurd.

have you compared the Leafs to at least 15 other teams to make this determination?
