Parker 1st MRB

LOL

First off, you can thank the previous GM of the Leafs for signing Finger to that 14 million/4 year deal. That was not Burke's doing so get the facts straight. Second, the Lebda deal was a $2.9 mil/2 year deal. For someone who has played in 62 playoff games over the past five postseasons and has been to the Stanley Cup Finals twice and brings some veteran experience to a young blueline on the Leafs/Marlies it seems that was a good deal. Burke is not overrated, the man knows what he wants and gets it. I like him because he doesn't fall in love with people he traded for and if trades/signings don't work out he doesn't try to pretend they work (i.e. Beauchemin and Versteeg). He's moves them and gets value in return. Kabarle - good puck moving Dman who quarterbacks powerplays but is less than average in his own end. A UFA in the summer and Burke got Joe Colborne (Boston's 2008 first round pick) and Boston's 2011 first round pick with a conditional pick. All that for a rent-a-player thats a UFA in the summer! Versteeg - a 3rd line winger who is a decent scorer and is streaky. Burke traded him for Philadelphia's first round and third round picks in 2011. A third line player traded for a 1st and 3rd round pick?!?!?!?! Come on that's a deal I'll make everytime. Beauchemin - HUGE WIM HERE - Burke traded this unproductive average Dman for Joffrey Lupul, and defenceman Jake Gardiner, who was the Ducks first-round, 17th overall selection in the 2008 entry draft, and a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2013. In two years Burke has gotten rid of all the former Leafs on this team from the previous regime and is slowly making it his own. I applaud the man for what he's doing and what he continues to do. And I guarantee he's going to flip those two 1st round draft picks in a trade and get a monster center for the Leafs. Granted they may not make the playoffs this year, but the team is young and is getting better. With all this cap he freed up in those trades there's no telling what he's going to do in the summer. Brian Burke = awesomesauce! Nuff said.

lol when I can get the guy who does the voice over for all the trailers.

Well I watched them play and to be honest they're both hogs. They hog that puck like no tomorrow and it just didn't work with Kessel and Versteeg on the same line. Kessel is more valuable to Toronto so the ideal thing to do was trade Versteeg.

Like I said Gooderham, Versteeg didn't fit in anywhere. Wilson isn't going to split up the Kulemin/MacAruthur/Grabo line and Versteeg didn't fit in with Kessel or Bozak on the 1st line. So he was playing minutes with 3rd and 4th line players who hardly have enough skill to help Versteeg's play. Burke's philosophy with lines are top six and bottom six. Versteeg is not a bottom six player so Burke made a move for him and got an awesome return.

This may seem like a biased opinion but I've been able to watch Versteeg play a lot and he's overrated. Good move for the Flyers though adding more depth, but they overpaid for the guy. He didn't fit in anywhere. He couldn't do anything with Kessel/Bozak and the coach isn't gonna split up the MacArthur/Kulemin/Grabo line so what do you do with Versteeg? You're not gonna play him on the 3rd or 4th line so obviously you trade him. And not for anything, but if I got a 1st and 3rd round pick for a player like Versteeg, I would make that trade 9 times out of 10. He will do fine on a line with maybe Richards or Brierre at center. But remember what I said - Versteeg = overrated. They had their backs to the wall with the salary cap. It was either Versteeg and Byfuglen or Kane/Toewes/Sharp.

Haha but.......... this is also pretty sweet

The Baseball fantasy league is not available yet, we need to wait until late February early March to start it up.

Well then I'll have to make more!

Did I miss your name in the credits Sheneman? Were you there? Sorry if I did buddy.

I'll clarify it for both of you. Tolomeo you are the sniper scoping in at 0:39 seconds. Park you are the sniper running up the stairs and scoping in at 1:34. Yamagata is the sniper getting shot at 1:41. You guys were all snipers

How about I make a video just for BAR!

The skins I use can be found in my office on the forums, check out 'Parker's DOD:S Overhaul". The song is Heart of Courage by Two Steps From Hell. Thanks for the kind words. You guys kick ass!

He was on the list, he was number 193. You are now unbanned. Be careful next time.

Done.

Done.

OMG I forgot Quake!!!

He's sworn to secrecy, but I'm not. He's an E-5 radio tech if I remember correctly.

He's implying that he doesn't follow sports.

I can't stop watching this, it keeps getting funnier.
