Optimus Reimer said:The team is so close to making the playoffs, that I can see Burke TRYING to make some transactions to strengthen the team because the other teams in the East will be trying to do the same thing. I am also aware that Burke will not mortgage the farm or do something stupid that will jeopardize the team in the long term.
I will not fault Burke for not making a trade that is detrimental to the team, just for the sake of making the playoffs this season, then falling off seasons after that. I will also not fault him for not taking on a contract that is too rich or idiotic for the organization (think Yashin and Kovalchuk).

It's going to be very difficult to make a big impact move. Either you try and move a bunch of assets to acquire a big name player, which most of us agree Burke won't try to do, or you tinker with smaller trades to hopefully land a guy that provides you that extra push. If we can someone land another Lupul type, someone who isn't playing up to their potential due to whatever reason, but then manages to find another gear here, then that's great. Finding a guy like that is easier said then done. So many teams competing for players at the deadline too, so trades get out of hand and people "lose their heads" as Burke likes to say. I'm not envious of position.
