I think the Leafs won both deals really, they got the best players by far, although they did take back a lot of $$. Having said that Giguere's numbers are horrid for his salary, he needs to bounce back big time, if he does the Leafs are definitely a better team now having shed such dead weight players. On the flip side having $25 million tied up in defenceman is going to make it hard to land top forwards, this team has no real centreman or forward depth, thats going to hurt them if they cant make another deal or sign someone decent next year. I think Burke should sacrifice Kaberle or Schenn to get a top forward..even though he said he never will.

I'll give Burke credit though, he's definitely not afraid to make changes, I wish our GM had some balls.
