Hope thts what the kaberle trade brings in.

Thats a great deal

Sweatt will replace Stalberg (same type of player)


Versteeg with Kessel will be amazing.

not a fan... selfish, little, and ... ye... reminds me of grabo but with more effort... ughh... but i guess he's good fun in the dressing room...

I agree entirely Sweatt is alot like Stalberg and versteeg is the best player in this deal by far. I dont see Versteeg as a selfish player at all...I am not a leafs fan but I am jealous at really how little they had to give up to get versteeg. If I am a Toronto fan Im happy.

We need to add size, our top 6 looks real small atm, but I'm sure Burke will look to adress that in a Kaberle trade.

In response to Nick, you don't get to play on the third line of the SC champions by being a Grabovksy type player...The kid has grit, and can play two way hockey, and is much much smarter than Grabo could ever hope to be.

We add size and grit tomorrow,

don't forget that our backend is pretty big, and we did add Mike Brown.

so, we still thinking the Leafs want a little center in Savard now? Try and compete with the Habs for ultimate smurfdom? Versteeg is good, just not sure how he will handle being one of the main players and not just a supporting role. He could explode or crackle under the pressure.

Savard is a legit top line centerman, he can fit, but ye it seem's like those talks are dead, unfortunately...

As for Versteeg, I don't project him as a top liner on this team going forward, likely a really good second line winger.

I'm starting to believe the Savard to Toronto was completely made up by the Media - even if it wasn't i no longer think he's coming here.

I hated all of what was traded to Calgary for Dion (except White)

I don't like Finger, fuck i hate Toskacrap and Stempy.

Burke is doing a great job at unloading shit - next to go is Finger (maybe he can be the captain of the Marlies )

[KapG]

No you don't. I hate a few Leafs.

poni is probably one of my most hated players ever...he was a leaf for most of his career too lol.

so yeah Hong, you can hate him if you want lol
