On June 30, 2009, Toronto Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson was on Prime Time Sports, hosted by Bob McCown on The FAN590 in Toronto. He was asked an abstract question about the difference between North American and European players. Wilson quickly got off track, and turned his attention toward another topic on his mind. He implied the Leafs planned to go after the Sedin twins, Henrik and Daniel on July 1, 2009, when they were scheduled to become unrestricted free agents. Wilson said: "You're hearing right now, and this sounds very contradictory but, there's a real possibility, I would think, that we would be going after the Sedins. Let's just speculate there." Leafs General Manager Brian Burke promptly flew to Sweden on the eve of free agency because he was going to make a big-money offer to the Sedins. Under NHL bylaw 15, organizational employees are not permitted to express interest in any player belonging to another NHL club. The bylaw states tampering to be: "The making or causing to be made through any medium, public or private, any statement indicating any intention or desire of or interest in acquiring the services (of a player on another club)."The NHL vowed it would take any tampering case seriously heading into this free agent season. The Leafs should therefore be punished for tampering with two (2) of the Vancouver Canucks' free agents, Henrik and Daniel Sedin, an adequate punishment being the loss of first round or second round draft picks. Sign this petition if you believe in morals and ethics and feel the Leafs should be punished.

- It'll be a cold day in Hell when Toronto wins another cup especially with an overpaid, overrated egomaniacal windbag like Burke as GM and an arrogant, overrated coach in Ron Wilson. Should have kept your mouth shut Ron!
