Burke is a good GM, but not nearly as great as the TO media makes him. He promised to make a splash at the draft..did nothing, he promised to make a splash July 1...did nothing. Don't tell me about Orr being a savior. What has he done in Toronto? Flew to Sweden to try to talk to the Sedins just after the Canucks signed him. The Sedins in TO would be horrible for that team. So what is his great GM record?

Pretty sure Burke had an amazing reputation as a GM long before he ever joined the shitty Leafs.

Burke's good. But he inherited a lot of other people's projecvts that were well under way. This time, with T.O. he's got to do it from the start on his own. This 'experiment' will be a good gauge of just how good he truly is.

He flew to Sweden to try and sign Gustaffson the goaltender from Sweden.
What has he done?
-Shed the contract of Kubina to free up $ to sign the best defensive d man in the pool.
-His draft was given an A+ to A- in every publication
-Made the Leafs tougher since we got pushed around horribly.
-Dealt Antropov and Moore for 2nd rounders which we draft two great players.

He's only been the GM for half a year and he had a ton a shit to deal with from Fergie's tenure.

I'm have no idea who the latest 2 signings for the Pens are. Anyone know if they're any good?

Set us up to deal Kaberle for a forward. Beauchemin lessen's the effect of losing a puck moving d man.

To me Burke has added size. He had to, but he can't just have a bunch of tree.
Kaberle would be a great fit to that blueline. He himself (Burke) said if they moved Kaberle, he'd be spending the year pursing and over paying for a puck moving Dman. I hope he moves Kaberlae and it's Vancouver that gets him. (to replace Ohlund) but really, Burke should be keeping him.

Leafs sign Jonas Gustafsson from Sweden. Only 1 year though. Interesting.

If the Leafs threw out White-Komisarek, Schenn-Beachemin, Exelby-Van Ryn, that'd give Toronto 3 stay at home and 3 puck moving and would still be able to deal Kaberle. We need a top 6 forward badly.

Kadri looks good on paper, just hope that he can play big league hockey.

However it looks like its going to be a more defense oriented team ala the ducks championship team of 2006

Kadri's size worries me. I'm kinda hoping they move Kadri to the wing due to his size (6"0, 177).

I agree. For this team to have any success they will have to be defence minded.

Flyers vs Bruins for the Winter Classic this year. Should be a great game.

Gonna be tough to get tickets but I think I am gonna give it a shot. Would be pretty sick to see something at Fenway other than a baseball game.

Tampa made some good moves last year, and we all saw how that worked out.

Tampa made a couple good moves, but then fucked it up fast. Tampa never should have taken Stamkos IMO which I've said from day one.

If Koulas and Barrie let Lawton do his thing they'll be alright.

That's because they weren't good moves. Sorry but Roberts and Recchi are done, and the others are non factors.

Problem was, Tampa had no direction. They dealt for Matt Carle, and than dealt Carle for Eminger, and then dealt Eminger for Noah Welch lol.

They dealt Kuba and Picard for Mezaros. You don't deal two d for 1 when you're lacking in defensive depth.

Signing Malone was a good move, although they over-paid. The Vrbata signing was awful, as was Roberts and Recchi.

They paniced when they lost the first two games in Europe against the Rangers and started making deals before the team had a chance to gel.

Stamkos wasn't too bad as the season went on. You might be basing your opinion on his start, which is what everyone remembers.

No i'm basing it on Tampa being better served drafting Doughty which would fill a need instead of Stamkos which was filling a want.

Well they lost Richards, might (still) lose Lecavalier, they need anew offensive dynamo. Stamkos was their hope. Keep butts in the seats.

They still had Prospal, Recchi, Vrbata, Roberts, Lecavalier, St. Louis, Malone going into that season. Nobody would have guessed that half wouldn't pan out, but looking at Tampa's forward and d core going into last season it was obvious that they made a mistake.

They had Jamie Friggen Heward playing 20 minutes a game to start the year.
