Just like Big Tuna if you could just talk about the Leafs reasonably and not in such hyperbole's perhaps you would find people more willing to talk reasonably about the Leafs back.

Yes you are correct, I should not say "Nothing". But there were no real loss in most deals.
Schenn - Leafs management destroyed this guys development to the point he is a 5-6 player on the flyers
-
Beachemin - we signed him UFA because Anaheim would not give him another 3 year deal. He wanted to stay with the ducks but when he hurt his knee they were skeptical and decided to let walk. So a year later, they got him back, and we gained Lupul and Gardiner, and a 4th round pick, and they still paid him on the same 3 year contract they refused to give him the season before.
-
Stajan, Hagman, Mayers, White. - A team rebuilding and getting rid of 2-3 line players who are UFA is not a loss to the team. All 4 of these players would not have came back the following year, and Hagman was a sell high situation. No real value in that trade leaving outside of White, who for some reason dropped of significantly over the next few years.

As it sits right now, none of the players listed outside of maybe Schenn (but his contract is a bit high) would be welcome back on this team
