Which is why I am very much okay with Lou not letting ANYTHING out. it might be frustrating for some, but what if some of what he lets out disarms him somehow in making a move where he can do the same.
Burke was so pompous back then by claiming he was so good at robbing other teams of high picks, and cited Pronger and the Sedins as examples. Well why would any other GM give Burke that chance to rob them of high picks again? The media kept speculating that Burke could get us Tavares or Hedman or anyone else Burke wanted, to the point that they put other teams on alert, giving us no chance to acquire good pieces without overpaying for them.
I would just rather not know anything until it's done. If we make a splash, great. If not, I don't need to hear any speculation that might give other teams the upper hand in negotiations.
It's night and day from the previous major management era. Matthews signing 'in 10 minutes' (albeit, I'm speculative of this and think it's hyperbole [but it doesn't matter anyway]), bodes well for the future of the Leafs and their moves. "Loose lips sink ships", as the old adage goes.
