The Toronto Maple Leafs and Calgary Flames completed a trade on Monday. The Flames acquired forward Colin Stuart and defenceman Anton Stralman and the Leafs' 7th round selection in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft for forward Wayne Primeau and the Flames' 2nd round pick in 2011. Stuart, who was drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers in the 5th round (135th overall) in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, has accumulated eight goals and five assists along with 24 penalty minutes in 51 career NHL games. Stralman, who was originally drafted by the Maple Leafs in the 7th round (216th overall) in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, has totaled four goals and 18 assists along with 38 penalty minutes in 88 career NHL games. Primeau was drafted 17th overall in 1994 by the Buffalo Sabres. He's played 715 games in the NHL and has recorded 66 goals and 120 assists.

What the hell is Burke up to????? How many 3rd and 4th liners does one team need????? I am truly baffled by what Burke is doing.

Looks more like an "I'll help you dump some salary for that second round pick and some slop from my end" than a stock up on checkers.

Its a garbage deal. I don't know why Burke is so high on second round picks. Statistically, very few second round picks ever make the NHL. Unless he is going to use these second round picks in order to make trades its really just a waste.

Sources tell TSN the Toronto Maple Leafs are about to deal goaltender Justin Pogge to the Anaheim Ducks. The deal is expected to be completed on Monday. The terms of the trade have been agreed on with Pogge going to the Ducks in exchange for a conditional late round draft pick that can improve based on Pogge's play. To fill the void of a Number 3 goalie, Toronto is also expected to announce the signing of free agent goaltender Joey MacDonald.

its been confirmed....I'm glad Pogge is getting a chance with another organization.

MCKENZIE: ARE THE MAPLE LEAFS PAVING WAY FOR BIG MOVE?

At face value, it looks like a garden variety exchange of draft picks.

And maybe it is, but could it possibly be more than that?

We will see.

The Toronto Maple Leafs today re-acquired their own much-travelled 2010 second-round pick from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Toronto's third-round pick in 2011 and a 2011 second-round pick that was previously acquired by Toronto from Calgary.

Why would the Leafs effectively pay a net price of a third-round pick to get a second-round pick in the 2010 draft instead of the 2011 draft?

Well, the move now gives Toronto their own first, second and third-round picks in the next NHL entry draft, which is the prerequisite for any team that would want to submit an offer sheet on a top restricted free agent player this summer.

This deal doesn't mean the Leafs will submit an offer sheet but it now allows them to do so if they so choose.

And which current restricted free agent might be of interest to the Leafs?

Well, Toronto has had significant interest in Boston's Phil Kessel this summer but has not been able to work out a deal with the Bruins.

In any case, the Leafs are now, thanks to today's draft picks trade with Chicago, positioned to submit an offer sheet.

The leafs are definitely looking at trying to sign a restricted free agent...Kessel seems like the obvious choice. Burke needs to use this year to put the pieces in place to get a top line centre and a true superstar.

KESSEL TRADED TO MAPLE LEAFS AND SIGNS 5 YEAR, $27M CONTRACT.


The drama surrounding Phil Kessel has finally come to an end as the Boston Bruins have traded their disgruntled sniper to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a 1st and a 2nd round pick in 2010, and a 1st round pick in 2011 pending a trade call which is currently underway.

Kessel and the Maple Leafs then quickly agreed to terms on a new five-year, $27 million deal.

The trade ends a saga that began during the lead-up to the NHL Draft when Kessel originally appeared to be headed to Toronto in exchange for defenceman Tomas Kaberle and a draft pick. However, the deal was scuttled at the last moment due to a miscommunication over the pick.

The Bruins had been unable to re-sign the 21-year old Kessel and the two sides were miles apart on a new contract. A restricted free agent, Kessel was reportedly looking for a deal in the neighbourhood of $4-5 million a season, while the Bruins, who are right up against the league mandated $56.8 million salary cap, could not afford to sign the Madison, Wisconsin native to the terms he desired.

Kessel informed the team through his agent last week that he was through negotiating and intended to sign an offer sheet with one of the league's other 29 clubs.

While both the Nashville Predators and New York Rangers had shown interest, Leafs' general manager Brian Burke's persistence finally paid off.

Kessel, who is sidelined until at least November following rotator cuff surgery, overcame a battle with testicular cancer in 2006 and captured the Masterton Trophy in 2007 for perseverance and dedication to hockey. He enjoyed a career season with the Bruins last year, leading the team with 36 goals in 70 games while adding 24 assists to finish with a career high 60 points. He was selected in the first round, fifth overall by the Bruins in the 2006 NHL Entry draft.

I don't know....seems like a lot to give up for someone who isn't even a point a game player

Season Team Lge GP G A Pts
2006-07 Boston Bruins NHL 70 11 18 29
2006-07 Providence Bruins AHL 2 1 0 1
2007-08 Boston Bruins NHL 82 19 18 37
2008-09 Boston Bruins NHL 70 36 24 60


edit: I hope it works out but I don't see it working out. This could be a big failure that Burke is going to take a lot of heat for when he doesn't have any first round picks for the next two years.
