While it is nice to acquire a young talent like Grabovski, I don’t understand why the Leafs continue to trade away draft picks. It is absolutely mind-boggling. That said, Grabovski has been a successful AHL player and does possess the talent to make the Leafs as a scoring forward.
Also, you always have to wonder when a team trades a young player within the division. Does Bob Gainey know something Cliff Fletcher doesn’t?
