Rick Nash will finally have a winger to play with. I think him and Carter will click. The Leafs acquire John Michael Lyles from Colorodo. Shouldn't they be looking up front. The depth on the D is stacked.The Blackhawks trade Brian Campbell to Florida for Olesz and Troy Brouwer to the Caps for a 2nd rounder in 2012. Not too many guys left from the cup winning team.
Sharks get Brent Burns from the Wild, one of the best D in the league IMO for Setoguchi and a 1st. rounder.
The Flyers also traded Mike Richards to LA for Bryaden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds and a 2nd. rounder. I can't believe the Flyers trading him. Well they cleared enough cap space to sign Bryzgalov to 9 year, 51 million contract.
July 1st. is just around the corner for the UFA's.

The Leafs did not have a good PP last year even when we had Kaberle. Liles will hopefully help solve this problem. I agree that the blueline is getting crowded. I've heard the Leafs are trying to dump Komisarek on a team that is trying to hit the cap floor. I'd guess teams in that situation would use him as a last resort. I don't get those Flyer trades at all, but they got some good young talent back. There were supposedly locker room issues with one of (or both) Carter and Richards. Of course the Toronto media continues torturing suffering fans saying Toronto was in on those trade discussions. We allegedly offered Nik Kulemin and Nazem Kadri as a start, but that wasn't enough. It doesn't bother me that the trade didn't go through (I like Kuli and you can't quit on Kadri yet), but I just hate how the Leafs get attached to any acquisition here. No wonder such a poor franchise on the ice is so hated.

The Toronto media is brutal. Vancouver isn't far behind. I don't think I would want to play in a Canadian market. I'd love to play in Florida. Flyfishing off the saltwater flats, chasing big Bucketmouths, short sleeves in December, those beaches, and of course Disneyworld.
It will interesting to see what Burkie can swing with UFA's. Komisarek sure struggled since he has been with the Leafs somewhat similar to the situation here with Keith Ballard(might be traded as well).
