The Maple Leafs traded an unsigned draft pick to the Blackhawks for a 2nd rounder with similarities to Darcy Tucker

And exchange their 5th rounder for Brown from the Ducks

Sounds like a good pick-up. Burke making chicken salad out of chicken turd. But man, Kessel better score 50 next year to ease the pain of watching the Bruins use our picks.

Or, you could look at the 1/2 full cup and say that last year we secured a bird in the hand rather than 10 on the tree. What if the Leafs had made it right in the middle? That was a deal done prior to the start of a failed season. No one on earth would have known that the Leafs would be in a position to pick 2nd this year.

Passing on Kovalchuk, could the Leafs finally trade Kaberle for Marc Savard and a prospect?

Looks good to me! Only time will tell.

Savard is a little bit too old I hope they get the guy like Carter
