What Toronto picked or did not pick, if this player is good or not good.

Everyone just has to chill, we all know that we are going to get trolls dropping by and saying crap about what we do.

It has been like this for years and it will be like this for many more.

If you do not like it visit their boards and rant or just ignore it.

Well then you're the only one on this site that isn't.

Again... Quoted for truth

Probably not.

The Leafs spending a 1st and their top prospect+++ and ending up with nothing hurt us ten times the kessel deal did.
- burn

What deal was that?

Doesn't have to be know it was a bad draft. Just have to look at the team that used the Leafs picks. The Leafs did. So therefore it was a bad draft. If Detroit picked the Leafs players they would be all steals.

detroit doesnt draft in the top 5, ever

Hat trick!

13th pick I believe...maybe something else.

Who did we trade for Vesa?

our 1st 2nd and 4th in 2007.

I can see, like many others, Burke trading prospects for veterans as an effort to get the Leafs in the playoffs. I'm also not buying that the Leafs are stocked w/ top prospects. Some potential, yes, but TOP, no.

And sorry, this "besides the Kessel deal" line of thinking doesn't work for me, as it is one of the worst, untimely and stupidest trades in franchise history.
- Domidives

Those that claim its the worst trade in franchise history are pretty clueless, imo. There have been enough trades where good, even great players, have gone the other way, with NOTHING in return, that kessel for the picks doesn't come close.

Kurvers for the niedermeyer pick ring a bell? Do you think kurvers was ever a better dman than kessel is right now? As good as seguin is, do you think he's in niedermeyers territory?

sickening. I remember driving home from work. Excited as poop about that pick. Then hearing they traded it and they talked to him on a (frank)ing boat while he was on vacation.

Yeah Kessel sucks... just an awful player.
- HipHopisDead

Has nothing to do with Kessel. He's a great player but find me the team in a rebuilding phase that trades 2 first rounders and is successful.

I'll wait to see what you find......

and that doen't make the trade good or bad. The end result does.

I'm down with Finn as the second round pick, I thought he would go much sooner. But still really confused at the lack of drive to draft top forward prospects.

can't draft what doesn't exist.

ya getting the 6th top scorer in the league was a poop idea... fire him
- DarcyTucker16

Again, nothing to do with Kessel, great player. Exactly what has it done for the team though?

Bad draft by the Leafs.... Hopefully FA is a little better for them!!!

Read my location, STFU, and go back to your lighthouse hole with it's Dipietro flag....and take your homeboy Komi and your draftpick Connolly with you

Hi everyone I know we hate each other on Hb i blame Clouts but as an Oiler die hard I wanna say you did have a good first two rounds both picks are 3 years away but will make your roster one day our 2-7 are all projects at least your GM has the balls to try and make a move lol..

I'm not saying they didn't get anything back in return; they got a great player. The timing of the trade is what makes it so bad IMO. When a team is a piece or two away from truly contending is when I'd make a trade like that, not at what should be the outset of a rebuild.

Why didnt the leafs go after bob?
