It seems that Leafs' GM Brian Burke has not needed sleep this weekend.
Burke announced on Sunday morning that the team had made two blockbuster moves that will see all-star defenseman Dion Phaneuf and all-star goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere in Maple Leaf jerseys. Burke shipped forwards Jamal Mayers, Matt Stajan, and Nick Hagman with defenseman Ian White to the Flames for Phaneuf, forward Fredrik Sjostrom and prospect Keith Aulie. The second trade involved Giguere heading to Toronto from Anaheim for forward Jason Blake and goaltender Vesa Toskala.

Leafs GM Brian Burke was not done adding some grit to his lineup after signing New York's Colton Orr to a 4-year, $4 million contract. He continued on a few hours later, picking defenseman Mike Komisarek up from free-agency.

ackets and Buffalo Sabres will find themselves in a bidding war for defenseman Tomas Kaberle of the Toronto Maple Leafs up until the waning minutes of the deadline. Brian Burke may decide to hold onto him after all, since he still has two years remaining on his contract and could be beneficial in the development of Luke Schenn.
