Kadri Cut, Frogren and Hanson to the Marlies

Gotta be disappointing for him. He played well.

I thought Kadri would at least get a few NHL games. I thought he was good

So, who is going to be getting Kessel the puck?

Mike Ricci's successor.

Yeah, I thought they'd give him the old "9 game evaluation" just to see how it went.

FYI: Frogen is on a one-way deal, which means TOR is eating that salary.

I don't understand this team, or Burke's strategy. The roster is mediocre at best, especially up front -- and yet they are spending $60.5 mil on their 23-man roster. The only reason they are even under the cap right now (by less than $500K) is that they can invoke the bonus cushion (to the tune of $4.5 mil) for most of Schenn's, Kulemin's, and Gustavsson's salaries -- and doing so will of course come back to haunt them this year.

WTF? This is Burke's grand plan? How are they in this bad financially? Seriously, what a mess. Already. They don't have the cap space to play Bozak, even if they wanted to.

Burke's an idiot, he has no clue. Everywhere he has been "succesfful" it's because other GM's have built the team before him. Most over rated hockey mind in the history of the game, him or Sather.

Everywhere Bryan Murray goes, teams either make it to the finals or win a cup shortly after.

How much relief will they get from Kessel being injured until Nov/Dec?

But never during just saying....

Ya, I thought about that, but the point was, Murray is a builder and the proof is all over The NHL.

What's Burke's legacy? It will eventually be the most over rated GM to ever manage an NHL team.

They need to get rid of Van Ryn and Finger... those guys have little place on that team, and not at that price.

Wow, I'm really surprised. It's not as if the Leafs have an all-star team up front - and the kid was good. Doesn't make any sense to me at all.

And I don't recall seeing or hearing anything about Dale Mitchell, another promising prospect. Was he even with the team for the pre-season? Is he injured?

Even for the people who follow cap hits, seeing these numbers in black and white is astounding. They're spending a lot of money this year.

Stalberg needs to be on that team before Kadri and Hanson. This was the good decision.
