We could certainly use a size injection, and a 45-55 pick will be good in this draft. I would be pleased if a deal like this went through. Of course the prospect of getting a 1st rounder is always a nice idea, but at this point it doesn't seem like that will be possible.

He's been very good lately in Connecticut. I believe he's PPG since January.

Why wouldn't he? He fits the Burke mold. North American(you can't really even tell he's Russian; he plays a very North American style and is incredibly fluent in English. No accent to speak of), big-bodied, tough, and talented. He'd get his chance with the Leafs, and he'd get a good shot in their top-6 with talented players, unlike with the Rangers, where he's a victim of depth.
