And the price was HIGH not even for his contract (which was stupid money too) but for the fact they gave up all their future first round draft picks! SO stupid. They're supposed to be rebuilding and they gave up all the tools that Pittsburgh used to win a cup (first round draft picks) to get a guy who scored 36 goals ONCE and is injured... hahaha Burke FML!!!
Think about it this way - Burrows got only 8 goals less than Kessel last year and he only started playing with the Sedins in the last third of the season... would you trade 3 years of your team's future away and $4mill for Burrows without the Sedins and expect him to change your 0-6 team?!?!
BTW I'd like to congratulate Brian Burke for putting together a team that's had the worst start in the Leafs 120+year history. Quite an achievement. | That's fair but let's wait till he plays for the team first before doing so.. plus he's 21 freaking years old... and you are comparing him to Burrows? LOL. .who in the right set of mind would do that first of all?
Burrows lols...

Burrows lols... | Have you seen the goals Kessel had last season? Most if not all of them were because Savard fed him like a mofo. There is NO players in the T.O. lineup that is even REMOTELY close to the kind of play maker Savard is.
With the media and everything in T.O. if Kessel doesn't come out an instant stud, the media and everyone in T.O. will bash him and ruin his confidence and his game. Hell, they may even come up with chants about how much he sucks/chokes when he goes on the ice or gets the puck.
Kessel is going to be another Blake for T.O., they do not have what is necessary for Kessel to be great. He may be decent but he will not even be a shadow of his former self.

I seriously don't know why you guys are making a comparison of Kessel to Blake.... I believe Blake has been steady (55-65pts a season) through out his career.. It's not like he had 100pts with the Isles before then went down to 50-60 in Toronto...Kessel will help the Laffs scoring wise.. he ain't going to change the team by himself.. they need a Goalie.....he can score a hat trick everytime but if the goalie lets in 4 goals a game or wateer then they will be 0-82.... NOT that there's anything wrong with that lol./
Imagine the Sedins with Kessel.....200pts!

Imagine the Sedins with Kessel.....200pts! | I think you're starting to get confused when you're comparing both Kessel and the team. We are strictly looking at Kessel and how he will not perform well because of the team where you're arguing the team won't do well even with kessel performing well.

I just don't get what you guys are saying when you mention that he will jsut be another Jason Blake lol.. Blake avg'd about 60 pts and still doing the same with the Laffs.. is that a failure?
What about Kessel.. Let's sayyyy he scores 60 pts etc.. is that considered a fail? I know that he might not get 100 pts with Grabovski centreing but there's still trades and the season is young....
oh well.. enough bout the leafs.. we've talked about that team for a page now

2002–03 New York Islanders NHL 81 25 30 55
2003–04 New York Islanders NHL 75 22 25 47
2004–05 HC Lugano NLA 7 2 2 4 4 – – – – –
2005–06 New York Islanders NHL 76 28 29 57
2006–07 New York Islanders NHL 82 40 29 69
2007–08 Toronto Maple Leafs NHL 82 15 37 52
2008–09 Toronto Maple Leafs NHL 78 25 38 63
The first time he got over 60 points in a season was his last year with the Islanders, but the number that stands out most is that he somehow got 40 goals that year, which is by far the most he's ever had, considering he's never even had another 30 goal season.
He hasn't done that poorly in Toronto... just not to the level of his last year with the Islanders.

I'm sure Kessel's first year in TO will not be fantastic. TO should be happy if he nets 20+ goals. Defintiely have to wait until a bonafide center arrives in TO whether that be through a trade or Kadri maybe? Who knows.
If I was going to pick I take Burrows right now, but down the road I'm not sure. But I think we can all agree the trade was not worth it. Now Bostons got two high 1st round picks, cause we all know the Leafs are not going to make the playoffs.

i just dont agree on throwing picks away for phil kessel
yes SPECULATION is that 2010 draft is gonna suck, but theres always the diamond in the rough with these things
its lookin even better for boston as the leafs will tank soo hard, that the 1st round pick could easily become 1st overall
im a pretty big phil kessel fan
yes, blake is no savard, but blake and garbovski will improve once kessel steps back into action, and that to the leafs is their single biggest win this year. i believe blake and garbovski is gonna stick around as their contracts go till 2011? correct me if im wrong

heard hes owning in the moose | so far 4 goals in 5 games, I heard the Gillis interview and he said that since Grabner is the the Canucks top prospect he thinks he should play on the top line. I think thats a smart idea hopefully that will get him going.

grabner will fail on the top line
they play him on the top line because of the type of player he is, he's pretty much pure offensive, so he has no spot other than the top line really on the team, the role he would play on other lines would not be effective whatsoever, so they are kinda forced to play him on the first
i dunno.. especially against Calgary i have some severe doubts
