For the better part of last season, people have been speculating about the possibility of Boston acquiring a lottery pick in exchange for Phil Kessel. With the conclusion of the season, this proved to be true. When the Leafs traded their first- and second-round picks this year and first-round pick next year, it was well known to Brian Burke the risk that he was taking. But he did it anyways and ...

With Boston Bruins star center Marc Savard reportedly saying he would not object to a trade to either the Maple Leafs or the Senators, there is much speculation as to what kind of package Savard would require.

Carey Price has seen a lot of criticism during his last two seasons with the Montreal Canadiens. After being drafted 5th overall in 2005, fans automatically thought that he was meant to be the new savior of their franchise.
