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

[p.l.f.]

lets see what Nomis can do

 

[Fenton]

Jays look solid this year.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Nonis. Fulltime gm of Leafs.

Wouldn't it make a bit more sense to bring in a fresh face? Someone with a new plan? But who knows... I guess Nonis may have that.

 

[Dangles McGavin]

Here we go.

I actually like Nonis, but nothing is going to change. Same philosophy, I think.

 

[Whileee]

I wonder if this was precipitated by Nonis threatening to walk... maybe he was fed up with working with Burke and senior brass likes Nonis more than Burke. If that's the case, I can't wait for Burke's first press conference.

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

DUMB, extremely stupid reason.

I have no use for this franchise under current ownership. I hope they go another 50 years without cup.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Here we go...

 

[DaveT83*]

No burke at presser

here we go

 

[LSnow]

Congratz leafs fans !!!

I have no idea if this was a good move, but my friend is a rabid leaf fan and he is apparently singing and dancing after he heard this news.

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

Agreed, I don't want Luongo but glad Burke is gone in a way and not glad in another way. Wanted him gone after the season if they don't do well.

 

[p.l.f.]

nice to have a GM that doesnt use geritol for a change

 

[MaskedSonja]

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.

Wait, wasn't the hiring of Burke (by Peddie and co) because Burke was "a Colangelo type of GM"? I seem to recall that idea punted around by MLSE when they canned JFJ

 

[Hanta Yo]

Nonis better be ready for the task at hand.

None of what is happening today makes sense.

 

[G51 K81*]

Why is this noob reading off a piece of paper?

 

[Auston Marlander]

Nonis looks terrified!!!!!

 

[FireEverybody*]

What success are you talking about?

None after Kadri, Gards, and Reilly are in Van for Lu.

 

[achtungbaby]

DUMB, extremely stupid reason.

That's what the Burke haters were always accused of hoping for. Interesting.

 

[TOGuy14]

I don't like Tom Anselmi being involved in the assessment of our management, the guy ran TFC into the ground

 

[DD03]

Nonis better be ready for the task at hand.

He's got the same plan Burke does. He's staying on as a senior advisor

 

[mzappa]

Doesn't Nonis hate Gillis in Vancouver? Then a trade for Luongo is unlikely right?

Here we go.

I actually like Nonis, but nothing is going to change. Same philosophy, I think.

 

[stakesishigh]

Nonis looks like death.

 

[Dangles McGavin]

Burke still senior adviser?

What does that even mean?

 

[leafygoods]

Nonis looks very uncomfortable in this presser. This should be good, I'd like to hear from Burkey at some point hah

 

[selltrade]

Nonis looks ill lol
