he is still waiting on official confirmation

you beat me to it, crazy news!

The Seguin deal, or the failure to acquire Luongo? Wonder which did it.

Doesn't take much.
Probably a disagreement with the owners about something CBA related. (?)

" I WILL buy the new Blackberry 10, and there is NOTHING you can do to stop me!"

Wow! This came out of nowhere.

I wonder if he refused to trade for Luongo while ownership is insisting on getting him? I'm sure we'll find soon enough.

This is great news. Never liked Burke.

Toronto seems to have a knack for bringing in stud GMs and subsequently making them look mediocre. Same thing has happened to Colangelo, who was widely regarded as one of the top GMs in the NBA when we brought him in.

I'm starting to wonder if some of these "top GMs" are just overhyped and are a product of fortuitous situations, or if it's something related to the Toronto market.

Wow! I'm floored. If this turns out to be true I want to thank Burke for everything he did for the franchise. I know, I know, the Leafs didn't make the playoffs under his watch but they're in a better position than they have been in a long time and as much as the Kessel trade hurt he landed some beauties after that!

i am surprised it took this long i think he is very overrated in terms of his acomplishments
