Brian Burke definitely felt like he was in a position where he needed to be a seller, and while he didn't get the first round picks he wanted for both Moore and Antropov, I would still say it was a job well done to get the pair of second round picks.
After Jokinen was off the market the Leafs were hoping the value of the two forwards would increase but unfortunately they didn't, and decided to take the offers on the table.
It should be an interesting finish to the season for the Leafs, however after today the many Leaf fans still hoping for a playoff spot will be disappointed with the deadline deals. But for the Leaf fans who didn't think the playoffs were realistic, they should be pretty happy with the draft picks and prospects the Leafs picked up.
And hey, who dosent want to see Cujo win some games to finish off his legendary career in the Blue and White!
