That's right boys and girls, today is Mystery D-Man Day! Or for those of you not fans of the Maple Leafs, Tuesday.

[Burke Hunting for Blueline Help - Eat. Sleep. Leafs.](http://www.640toronto.com/Blogs/EatSleepLeafs/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10207587&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

> "We're trying to add by tomorrow if we can," said Burke, who has indicated a willingness to move the hoarded draft picks. "We're trying to put a player in the lineup that can help us as soon as possible.
> 
> "We’ve done the major surgery as far as what we need to do, but we’ve still got a couple things we’d like to do."
> 
> Much of the rationale behind the Beauchemin swap was the readiness of 21-year-old [Keith Aulie](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/68754/keith-aulie?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and while [Carl Gunnarsson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/72010/carl-gunnarsson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) performed more than adequately in Kaberle’s place on Saturday, a deal for additional help on the backend is of top priority according to Burke.
> 
> "We’ve had some discussions about forwards we have to consider, but it’s not our priority," he said. "Our priority would be adding a defenseman."

Who's it going to be? Stay tuned to find out!
