...completely out of left-field but Burke's gone! Sacked by the Leafs.
He's the most over-rated GM in the game without doubt but why now? Why not 6 months ago?

6 months less contract they'll have to compensate him for I guess, when changing would've made no difference. But yeah, doubt anyone saw that coming.
Edit - but then again they paid him for those 6 anyway. Yeah, ignore me. Weird decision.

Not booted, sort of demoted. He's staying on as 'special advisor'.

....thanks for that input Pidge.
If you don't win the cup with the two of the three best defensemen in the game then you deserve to be sacked immediately.

We're very much playing how Burke actually wanted us to play now; Carlyle is a Burke hiring & this team is Burke's team, even the GM is a Burke man!
