Burke completes jam packed off-season
Burke has stated he is is done with off-season deals and is ready to go with the current roster into training camp..... http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=404954
For those who have missed it the Leafs had a phenomenal off season summarised below:
OUT
Jonas Gustavsson
Luke Schenn
Joey Crabb
Colby Armstrong
Phillippe Dupuis
Daryl Boyce
IN
Conditional 7th round pick 2013 (Winnipeg)*
James Van Riemsdyk
Keith Aucoin
Jay McClement
Mike Kostka
Simon Gysbers
*the condition is that the Monster has a higher save % than Henrik Lundqvist.
In addition to this we haven't resigned Cody Franson, Jay Rosehill or Ben Scrivens becasue frankly they are all tosh. Luckily though we skipped on all the free agents and didn't trade for a top centre or goaltender. Lombardi, Connolly and Komisraek still have contracts too thank god. Also, we are only still paying for Darcy Tucker's payout for good service and paying half of Colby Armstong's hit so that he can play for our chums the Habs. Some good community work there. Finally we drafted a D man in a deep D draft rather than taking any of the overated forwards which we clearly do not need.
So Burke, put your feet up, job done.
Finally, a personal touch, I thought I would share with you all this interesting boook I've been reading, it has changed my life.

Re: Burke completes jam packed off-season
Sounds like an amazing plan. At least you didn't sign a pair of past it 40 year olds eh

That's usually our job. This year though, we've decided to lose our D core, and luckily Holland knew there was going to be a lockout, so didn't bother signing any replacements.

Sounds like a good plan. Saves dealing with awkward roll back of contracts eh?
Re: Burke completes jam packed off-season
There you go Mr Buff, Mr Scrivens has been signed.... your wonderful summer has been ruined.
Re: Burke completes jam packed off-season
Oh man. Does this mean that all that other stuff is going to happen as well now?
