09:53 AM ET 02.26 | A few weeks ago, Brian Burke was talking boldly of a pre-deadline trade that could fortify the Leafs to shoot for the second round or beyond. "I want to get in with a reasonable chance to (advance deep) or bloody someone???s nose while doing it," he stated in January when everyone in the Eastern Conference except Boston and the Rangers were tripping over themselves. Burke even said draft picks and prospects could be on the table to hit a home run. Now, he's tempered expectations to the point where something small could be all that results from the next day and half of discussions. If he doesn't want to put precious resources such as Jake Gardiner on the market, the Leafs will be waiting for Plan B or C deals that spin off other teams' dealings.

I think all that's left for Burkie is to add Plan J to Plan B.

So how "irked" is Burke today after last night's beatdown by the Caps?

They are fading fast. Good thing they gave Rotten Ronnie that contract extension, it might have been worse.

It is time for Argos' delusional trades!
Schenn + Colborne + Boston's 2nd for Dustin Brown
Aulie for Lindback
Kadri + Leafs' 2nd + Percy for Derrick Roy

Just fire him now! Call-up Dallas Eakins.
Eakins has done a great job with the Marlies. Maybe he can get them going.

I actually don't think those deals are all that delusional, compared to past deals I've proposed.
I think the Preds, and Sabres would accept those, and probably the Kings too.
It will make the team a whole lot better too.
Lupul - Roy - Kessel
Brown - Grabo - Mac
Kulemin - Connolly/Bozak - Lombardi
Brown - Steckel - Armstrong
Maybe you could trade either Bozak or Connolly for a bag of pucks.
Phaneuf - Carl
Liles - Franson
Gardiner - Komisarek
Obviously, Komisarek would never ever play, and the Leafs would just role their top 5.
Lindback
Reimer
You can throw Jonas in with the Preds deal. I actually think Jonas can still be a good goalie, but Allaire has killed him in Toronto, trying to make him into a Giggy style blocking goalie, when he is more of an athletic goalie.

She is starting in Alberta, and has a bus ticket to Toronto.
But hopefully, before the bus arrives, it is a long drive, she has to take a detour to Winnipeg or Washington or Florida...

You'd better hope there's no TVs in LA or they might see Semin embarrass Schenn last night.
No worries on Colburne though I doubt they get the Marlies Channel in California.

You mean, you actually think Dean Lombardi would watch Schenn before trading for him?
I was hoping he would just go off all the hype, and go back to reports on him 3-years ago, when he was suppose to turn into something good.

If you Dean insists that that deal is not good enough, I'd be willing to throw-in his choice of one of Armstrong, Connolly, Bozak, or even Komisarek. That should seal the deal.

Can't trade Colby he's the heart and soul of the team.

Oh yeah, that is right.
He gives it 110%, and plays with a ton of heart.
Remove him from that list!

While I agree that Ronnie is awful, I just can't see his BFF (The irked one) firing him. Don't know anything about Eakins but I can't imagine he'd be any worse that Wilson.

So you only want Dustin's autograph then?
And Colby would love to go to LA. Great rhinoplasty out there.

No one is worse than Wilson.
Burke wont fire Wilson before the season is done. If the Leafs squeak into the playoffs, because every team they are fighting sucks too and loses, then Wilson gets another sadly gets another full year. If the Leafs don't, Burke finally fires him and probably hires Carlyle, who will be an upgrade of Wilson but still not that coach I want.
But either way, it is a lose-lose for Leafs fans everywhere. Make the playoffs, more Wilson. No more Wilson, miss the playoffs.

But it has to be an autographed jersey that Mike Brown can play in.
And I'm not sure what rhinoplasty is, but from the sounds of it and in LA, I'm thinking nose job? If that is the case, the Kings should trade for Armstrong, Lucic and Marchand.

Nobody could be worse than Rotten Ronnie. That's why we love him so much.
Stay the course Burkie, don't change a thing. :-)

You're correct in your assumption and those three would make some plastic surgeon's career.
