MoneypuckOverlord Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 this is old news...... very old... Brian Burke wants to know why he wasn't invited to Linden Jersey retirement..... This is why. Also the Sedins tampering and calling out our Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 So Bieksa + Burrows + soon-to-be-Schroeder for Hedman, Duchene or Kane? No wonder we didn't get that trade done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayStation Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Personally I'm happy that didnt go through... Sure we'd have a young stud now, but our glory days may not of happened if we had done that trade. Bieksa and Burrows were huge factors in our dominance and playoff runs. If it was Tavares, well hey there is no way I'd turn that down! Throw in someone else while you are at it to get err done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 As PlayStation said, this deal might've meant having a budding star now, but 2011 probably wouldn't have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Kane or Duchene would have been awesome. Hindsight is always Kop1t4r... Anyways, these are similar choices that MG will have. Shake the core or status quo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 this is old news...... very old... Brian Burke wants to know why he wasn't invited to Linden Jersey retirement..... This is why. Also the Sedins tampering and calling out our Owners What Sedins tampering did Burke do? It was his coach that said, "I could see going after them if they become free agents". Earth shattering. Every hockey analyst out there had been saying that for six months. And his coach was fined for it. Had nothing to do with Burke. Btw, that clip should be blamed on the Leafs TV staff. You can't blame a GM for talking to his staff about what's being offered for a player you're interested. But the Leafs TV production crew never should have left footage in their "behind the scenes" special that named names in potetial deals that didn't happen. Just plain stupid on their part.

Pouria Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Kane or Duchene would have been awesome. Hindsight is always Kop1t4r... Anyways, these are similar choices that MG will have.

PRIMO88 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yea never knew about it but damn it would definitely be nice having one of those guys now but i dont know if we would have the runs we did without those two. You think shroeder was the guy they were targeting? Its nice seeing burkie work his arse off trying to get these trades done. Goes to show the kinda work that goes in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It wouldn't have been duchene....it would have been Tavares or hedman. I remember how much hype there was behind Hedman. I remember also there was alot of talk about Duchene and speculation that he only looked good because he was riding Hodgson's coattails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Okay. Who would have scored the GWG during the 1st round, Game 7 in OT against the Blackhawks? Who would have scored the GWG during the 3rd round, Game 5 in OT against the Sharks? Or maybe everything would have been changed from the start.

tas Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 they probably would have picked schroeder with that 2nd overall anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The most likely wanted Duchene, since we drafted hodgson year before, Hodgson-Duchene woulda been nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 For those saying with that trade the 2011 run wouldn't have happened. Maybe not, but maybe in 2012 or 2013 we would have gone all the way. By trading Bieksa we would have had money to sign Ehrhoff instead. Not the same type of player, but Ehrhoff would have helped with scoring in 2012 and 2013. Plus with Burrows out, maybe Grabner would have had a real chance a becoming a top 6 for us. All I know, is today we would be a better team, with Duchene than with Bieksa, Schroeder, Burrows. So I would make that deal anyday....but not surprising Avs didn't do it.

tortorellatheboss Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'd trade Burrows for a sandwich at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I found the talk about Bobby Clarke blackmailing the Leafs for a 2nd (~5min mark) by saying they'd pick out of order and get the player the Leafs had agreed to pick in another deal more interesting. But what's that about Gillis not making bold moves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It wouldn't have been duchene....it would have been Tavares or hedman. I remember how much hype there was behind Hedman. I remember also there was alot of talk about Duchene and speculation that he only looked good because he was riding Hodgson's coattails. A member on here offered the Avs Hodgson , our pick at 22 (Schroeder) for Duchene. The CDC fanboys laughed him off the board, mocking him to scorn repeatedly. Some argued they wouldnt give up Hodgson for Duchene straight up. Back to the video, I like how Burkie and many of the media had Kassian in the conversation at #7 through 9 .
