Calgary media is reporting that the #Flames will name a new CEO sometime soon and it is believed to be former #Leafs GM Brian Burke(who now works with the #Ducks part-time)...

Toronto was pretty successful this year relatively speaking. Also how many GM's have actually built teams from the ground up.

So getting knocked out of the first round and embarrassed in game 7 is successful? YIKES I'd say a lot of the moves that Burke and Nonis both did are on the Canucks roster today, so they did in fact start from scratch and build a team...just not a successful one when it counts...

In the last three years we couldn't get close to beating Boston. So taking them to gm 7 after being down 3-1 in the series. Yes was successful. We don't talk about the last ten minutes

For a leafs team that missed the playoffs for 7 years that was a successful season. You can argue all you want but success is relative to the situation.

It was a lockout shortened season, not a full 82 game schedule and you weren't playing any Western teams, I wouldn't call it a success unless you repeat this year playing a balanced schedule against all 29 other teams.
