Could Brian Burke tell me what Frattin brings to the table that Jay Rosehill doesn't bring? Because I could really tell him what Jay Rosehill brings that Frattin doesn't bring.

Gonna miss the tough Anglo-Saxon. Good thing he got a 1-way contract before the goon era ended

I don't like seeing Rosie go down but realistically he has done almost nothing in the games he has played in to warrant staying. He hasn't enforced at all.

Frattin has torn it up since being sent down and will bring some energy to a team that's just going through the motions right now. He never takes a shift off and if he ever starts finding his spots when shooting he'll put up some numbers. The Leafs are better off with him in the lineup.

Hopefully by Monday Burke can toughen up this bunch of ladies though I'm not holding my breath

Replace "Indian boys" with "hockey fighters" and that's what's going on right now.

Ten little Indian boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little Indian boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little Indian boys travelling in Devon;
One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.

Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in half and then there were six.

Six little Indian boys playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little Indian boys going in for law;
One got in Chancery and then there were four.

Four little Indian boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.

Three little Indian boys walking in the zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two Little Indian boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one.

One little Indian boy left all alone;
He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.

He's ready but based on past history he'll get injured and then the Leafs will be the softest team in the league.

Simple...

He's going to get dangled as trade bait and if he's in the NHL I assume it's easier to move him.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone by Monday afternoon and Rosehill is recalled.

Maybe there is hope in Edmonton? Finally, a guy in charge who doesn't believe Lennart Petrell is a legitimate roster player.
