One shortened season of moderate success and the Leafs feel that they are a couple peices away from a dynasty, so start to immediately overpay at first opportunity to "take that next step", as I am sure the justification is and TSN and Snet and Brophy will laud the Leafs activity.
Think Burke would've done these moves? Me either.
Imagine if thy had beat the Bruins, there wouldn't be room from Clarkson as Bozak would've gotten more and other Leafs would've gotten extensions like all those Oilers after the Cup run.
