Good blog Lucas. Right on about Burkie. Only thing larger than him is his ego. Would have enjoyed being in the room the day he got canned. Probably similar words that he used on Kevin Lowe with the old offer sheet scenario.

I find it very bizarre that Leafs fans can praise Tavares to high heaven, and at the same time shout down anyone who even dares to think that Matthews might want to leave Toronto after his 5-year contract is up.
- Atomic Wedgie


To be fair, Tavares didn't just "go home", he was sold on the team and it's direction. Maybe Arizona could be there in 6 years time, maybe not.

Plus, they might not even have a team. Could be in Houston by then.

Burkie is entitled to his opinion.. and that's all this is. Burkie is trolling the Leafs and fan base, stirring the pot.


That won't get him another NHL GM job unfortunately for us...

and frankly, when was the last time Burkie had a quality hockey opinion?

2 2nd round picks for Bernier?
Signing Komisarek?
Signing Tim Connolley?
Trading Kubina for Garnet Exelby?
What about the Kessel deal?

Isn't Burkie the architect of the move up at the draft to acquire Tyler Biggs? seriously, he moved up in the draft to get Biggs.


seriously folks... this is into Chiarelli, JFJ territory.

After 5 years maybe he'll go....maybe he wont! Nothing I'll lose sleep over today or in 5 years time. At the end of his contract he will have spent 8 years with the Blue & White! He's got a right to go anywhere he wants then. We're all stupid if we think that he's not at least thought about it down the road. I've lived in AB for almost 19 years, I love it here but I still think about moving home sometimes but I just haven't done it yet! I may one day and I may not! If he can help get us a cup in the next 5 years I won't complain if he leaves!

serious question - not begin sarcastic...

what was Burke saying about the offer sheets late in calendar year 2018 and early 2019?

nah... I wouldn't call him stupid. Steve Simmons is stupid.

but I would question some of Burke's "judgement"... it hasn't exactly always been the best.

A team in the west the Leafs have had dealings with before, or Lamoriello. My sources say a killer offersheet is coming from one of these teams. The Leafs are NOT OK with this.

that's good... because I don't believe anyone will be dumb enough to offer him one.

I think he wants Don Cherry's spot.
