The Mapleleafs Are Proud To Pick ...... Morgan Rielly
On a side note .... Columbas has picked up Bobrovski , Islanders grab Vishnovski , and the biggest deal of the night Pittsburgh trades Jordan Stall for a 1st , Sutter , and a top prospect .
Leaf still remain interested in Loungo ..... Stay tuned .

#1 Center ....
6 ft 4" @ 220 pounds buried on a Penguins team that is deep in the middle . Jordan Stall had a career high 50 pts last year and plays an in your face game that the Leafs want to see under Randy Caryle .
With Sidney Crosby and Jordan Stall both Ufa after this coming season , and Crosby expected to sign a long-term deal in the 9 - 10 mil per range , Malkin on the books for close to 9 mil , Neal freshly inked to a 5 mil per and Jordan Stall on the cusp of recieving the same .... It seem as if Jordan Stalls time in Pittsburgh is coming to an end .
Burke has to be all over the possibility of Stall on the topline with Kessel and Lupul . Where he deserves and should be on any other team .
Kulemin and the 5th overall is the rumor out there , a big two way winger who would jump right in to the left side on fellow countryman Malkins line and a top 5 pick in a decent draft . A fraction of the cost of resigning Stall and gives the cap relief to plug some holes in the lineup .
Jordan Stall is exactly what the Leafs are looking for and it is rumored that Burke absolutly loves this kid . Who doesnt .....
Stay tuned Leafers ....

2 Kings who could be Leafs .... Schenn on the block ?
A short rumor post .... Fresh off a cup win 2 kings could find themselves in a Leafs jersey .
Dustin Penner is a big body that Burke would love to put into his top six , Penner seemed to have an extra bounce in his step during the playoffs and a reclamation project may just come at the right price .... Penner for a few years @ 3mil anyone ? Remember Penner played under Burke before in Anahiem .
Jarrett Stoll would be a great addition to the third line center role .... of course this means a buyout or trade for Connoly would be in order .
Loungo rumors are of course on the front burner ... Toronto is rumored to be the only possibility for the Canucks to unload this massive contract meaning Gillis would probably not fetch as great a return as he would like , and may have to take back salary in the trade .
Shultz to sign in Toronto is most likely as he and Jake Gardiner are best of friends .... Burke wanted Shultz origionally in the Beauchamin trade but settled for Gardiner . What a great consolation prize .
And Last but not least ... Burke is expected to try to move up in the draft and Edmonton is listening . Schenn or Franson are likely in any package to move up or grab a second top 5 pick ..... Yup rumor has it Burke wants the number 1 and 5 .
Nash , JVR , Loungo , Brown , Statsny ... all names being tossed around as possible draft day trades . Should be a fun few weeks Leafers .
Woikin Out!!
