Not exactly sure which players they'd be scouting from us...I'd assume Stajan will be traded at some point but you'd have to believe they'd be looking at guys like White, Kulemin, Poni etc. If that Sopel deals happens, I, and I'm sure many Leaf fans will be unhappy. That is simply not enough to take on that salary.

If the plan is to dump Sopel in the minors, which appears to be the case, why would anyone be upset? Because MLSE is making less money and continuing to use their financial resources to their advantage?

Oh, I agree. I wouldn't have a problem with that but sending serviceable players to the minors is bad for business all round. It just doesn't look good and the NHLPA would certainly be pissed off. I would just hope a deal could be expanded that would send Kyle Beach our way...I've wanted that kid for a while and he's exactly what we need and he may be expendable from Chicago's perspective.
Hi: I'm November. I'm the month preceding December.
Hi December!
I'm November:
In less than a three days from now in America, there's this thing called Thanksgiving. It's kind of an important American holiday. There happens to be 5 players on the Leafs roster who recognize this day. It's also kind of family oriented.

Burke's self-imposed trade deadline is December 9th.

There's nothing the NHL can do. Many teams have used this route and we've learned that the NHL isn't able to step in and do anything about it. It's not like we've signed Sopel recently and are doing this to him (like NYR did with Kasparitis), we're just taking him off of Chicago's hands. I don't see any backlash against the Leafs for this move, just us using a loophole that is well known.

To be fair, the Americans live in Canada during the season so who knows what Thanksgiving they celebrate -_-

Burke was referring to Christmas.
While we're at it, The Leafs play in Canada that has Thanksgiving at the right time of the year

His Holiday thing is only for christmas though. He specifically imposes his own roster freeze a week prior to the leagues freeze.
This year there are even two games being played on thanksgiving. and almost a full platter on the 25th.

I doubt any of the Leafs will recognize American thanksgiving this year. Plus Burke's trade freeze is for X-mas and this has been made clear. He has a few weeks till his trade deadline will come, so I'm not sure where the issue is. Burke has a habit of broadcasting his deadline as well, so we should know full well.
Hey March, Im August! ... there's no real significance there, I just wanted to be August.
Hey August, I'm June. Next year, this is where the Leafs will select their first... i mean second.. wait.. I mean they will make their third round pick

I think Burke will flip players at the deadline and get some picks in the 2nd and down range...so other than the 1st round, we may be selecting a good amount of players.
