Confirmed with Link: Brian Burke Fired, Hired as Senior Advisor | Dave Nonis Hired.

[Leaf Rocket]

Lol doesn't make sense. If he had a plan and didn't want to make a trade, we fire him?

Dreger said nonis will be the full time GM.

 

[mrsauve]

HAPPY WITH NONIS... anyone else I would have been pissed

 

[Leafsdude7]

I'm in Mississauga, and all I'm getting is static as well. Tried a couple different radios.

Same here in Brampton. Lucky, the website stream still works.

It's weird that TSN's signal is stronger than the Fan right now.

So we pick our GMs by style and not success now.
WELCOME our new overlords...

We are so ****ed.

...get out

This.

James Duthie just reported that new ownership "didn't like Burke's style." And that's a good reason to relieve him of his job... Ugh.

I hope this doesn't translate to: Ownership "didn't like that they couldn't push Burke around".

If so, EVERYONE, even those who hate Burke should be extremely afraid.

Two very Happy People in this city today:

Don Cherry
Francois Allaire

If Luongo deal was quashed by Burkes handling of Allaire - that would be amazing

Meanwhile, right now Craig Button is throwing Burke under the bus for poor performance on TSN 1050.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger

Nonis. Fulltime gm of Leafs.

 

[Sokil]

What does that even mean? lol

means they thought he was an a-hole

Sources say no recent incident led to Burke's firing. New ownership did not like his "style".

Exciting that our new ownership is looking to be so involved in hockey operations...****

Like many others have said-if they didn't like his style, why now? Why not either before lockout or after season? Unless the Lou speculation was the "straw that broke camels back"-and they just said "enough". It doesn't surprise me about Nonis, who was always more media friendly and more "toned down" in his media interviews.

I realise Duthie said it, not you

 

[Badger Mayhew*]

**** me..


NO.

Armstrong would be 100x the GM that Burke was.

 

[DaveT83*]

All the media guys at presser are so giggly lol

I think there has to be more to it to that. Why create such a distraction for the team by firing him right before the season. Who knows though.

im sorry... what success?

 

[Stats01]

Let's see what Nonis can do!

 

[TOGuy14]

I can't believe TSN just said that MLSE would want someone more like Bryan Colangelo running this team. BC is currently one of the worst GMs in the entire NBA. I don't care how nice his suits are or how nice his smile is at pressers, he has done NOTHING for this team, and actually made it worse.

What success are you talking about?

 

[Borschevsky]

Did none of you follow what happened with TFCs coach hiring?

This is the type of ownership we have to deal with.

 

[Sokil]

Oh good, then I can stop wasting my time reading both your posts. Go back there then.

gotta love admitted 'fan boys' like you

 

[JMcLeaf]

press conference starting now

 

[Budsfan]

Conference set to begin.
