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

[Brewsky]

Burke staying as Sr. Advisor?

 

[JoeParez]

What? Did I already miss #FireCarlyle?

That was sooooooo last year.

 

[DaveT83*]

Senior Advisor means - here's a ltitle something to save face.

He won't be advising anything - or have any input on team.

 

[Sokil]

Burke still senior adviser?

What does that even mean?

it's a PR move to fire someone without using the word "fired"

 

[pspot]

Nonis looks like the whipping boy they wanted

 

[achtungbaby]

Burke still senior adviser?

What does that even mean?

He's a figure head now with little real power until he finds something else to do or his current contract runs out is my guess.

 

[DD03]

My guess is ownership wants Lu and a playoff spot. Burke didn't want to pay the price for Lu, Nonis get's a promotion and does what ownership wants. He'll overpay for Lu.

If this is what happens, this place will blow up.

 

[p.l.f.]

he's nervous

 

[Guy Boucher]

Nonis is the saddest man to ever be given a promotion.

 

[G51 K81*]

Nonis looks confident lol

 

[Brewsky]

Nonis is going to be like Ferguson Jr. the puppet.

 

[JMcLeaf]

carlyle safe

 

[AndMat*]

What if this was Burke just giving the job to Nonis?

 

[Fogelhund]

nonis doesn't look too pleasant.

No, he certainly looks upset.

Vote of confidence to Carlysle.

 

[SoVi3t]

Wow, Nonis looks like somebody is pointing a gun at him from behind the camera.

 

[DD03]

Nonis is the saddest man to ever be given a promotion.

You need to remember that this is one of Burke's best friends. They work together all the time.

 

[davemess]

Burke still senior adviser?

What does that even mean?

Means the Leafs dont want Burke as GM........ but they dont want anybody else to have him either in case his new team does better than the Leafs.

 

[TML g u n n e R s*]

Malkin better be hiding in the back and come out and shock the world

 

[Whileee]

Hilarious...

They thank Burke for building a deep front office so that they could find a good replacement for him...

 

[Stats01]

Nonis just said "they have a short window to make some hockey decisions with this club" He is talking about Luongo!!

 

[DD03]

Nonis looks like he had been crying earlier.

Ugh. Don't like this.

[fahad203]

Nonis is the saddest man to ever be given a promotion.

It's like being a Roman General. Double edged sword.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Nonis looks terrified
