This seems to be a trend, and it may be the cone of silence by Burke et al, but Im seeing multiple teams make moves and signings and seeing nothing from Leafland. When I say 'trend' Im referring to the 'no we're not going to pay that' speech we get when there is a Super Duper RFA/UFA available. For Burke, THIS IS THE YEAR. None of this 'Im not going to pay that salary'. NY did for Brad Richards, and they did pretty well this year. If the Leafs don't make the playoffs in 2013, Burke is done. And rightly so.
Seriously - trade Luke Schenn while you can. He is an OK defenseman, and if he turns out to be the next Pronger (notice I didnt say Lindstrom) then so be it. The Leafs would get some very capable assets in return.
If the Leafs don't make any MAJOR moves, and DO make the playoffs, I'll eat a pair of my boxers -it wont be that tuff tho, they're all thin and worn anyway - like the Leafs.
