The Leafs finally have a young core of players, Kessel,Schenn,Aulie,Franson,Gu­nnarsson,Kulemin,Kadri,Reimer etc with tons of prospects with talent and potential that wasn`t there when jfj was in charge, guys like Colborne,Gardiner,Percy,Biggs,­Frattin,Blacker and so on, future is bright in Leaf land, Burke has 100% overhauled this team since 08, only guys remaining are Schenn,Kulemin and Grabo from that team, Burke is trending them in the right direction.

@Sundin456 Oiler's aren't gonna give up Hall, what world are you living in? lol

[sutton123454]

@Running4coffee who cares, seguin sucks, this year's draft is even worst...

[sutton123454]

What's wrong with all the haters? the leafs are actually looking pretty good now, aslong as reimer plays like he did last year, the leafs will actually have a chance at making the playoffs. yes we need a top centre, i'm sure we'll get one july 1st, brad richards really wants to come to toronto, if burke doesn't get him he will go to the rangers (if they have the money)

@cyber151 Lie. Show me where he promised to get Tavares. Just more revisionist history by Leafs haters. Jared Cowen? He's nowhere and will never be anywhere.

Dear Pierre,

Shut the fuck up

Thanks, Canada

@micfiends Also in the prior draft when Bryan Burke was a duck gm, he wanted to trade up and swap picks with murray to draft Erik Karlsson as a future replacement for S.Neidermyer, Murray told Burke that with the losses or Redden Corvo and Mezaros he COULDNT pass up on Erik Karlsson. Burke was all pissed off. But Murray has class and doesnt bring the cameras over for that crap. watch the footage of Burke stamping around the draft floor like a fat elephant and everyone shutting him down. Wake up.

@micfiends Wow you are a joke. Um Burke promised leaf land to move up in the draft to get TAVARES. Then he back pedaled and said oh i'll go get Brayden Schenn. At the draft the islanders and kings laughed Burkes ass out of the building when he tried to con them with crap offers. So he did that little stunt on camera to feel good about himself, then he had to settle for Kadri. Nowhere near as good as Tavares or Schenn. Ottawa drafted Cowen. Cowen hoisted the memorial cup vs kadris knights. fool.
