Pretty mediocre team if you ask me. But then again, he did leave the Leafs with Tyler Biggs. What more needs to be said?

Beauchemin sucked in Toronto. Great value for a UFA bust. Why couldn't Beauchemin do anything in Toronto? Now you're predicting he'd be so great in helping them?
And LOL at getting "Raped" in the Kessel deal. 21 year-old future superstar. Of course he cost a lot. Burke was bang-on in predicting how good Kessel would become. Kessel was never expected to do this. Not even close. He's a couple of points from being the top NHl scorer the past 3 years.
He also drafted Kadri and Rielly.
