Confirmed with Link: David Nonis TML GM|Brian Burke Hired as Senior Advisor - II

[Dwight K Schrute]

Bob MCcown just said on sportsnet the deal he wouldnt do was kadri and gardiner. I sure hope not.

 

[namttebih]

I actually want Luongo, but firing Burke is Pejorative Slured. You're completely right about him being an amazing trader and if we end up paying a lot for Luongo because MLSE puts their mitts into this team yet again, I'll.. well I'll probably do nothing about it because I suck and for some reason continue to watch this joke of a franchise, but I'll ***** a lot about it.

Lmao. Yup.

Bob McCown on #Sportsnet: Burke didn't want to deal Kadri & Gardiner for Luongo. Felt it wasn't the right deal to make.

 

[wreckless]

McCown saying this is 100% due to Luongo.

He also said Gillis wanted Kardi and Gardiner and Burke would not do it.

 

[tzinc]

Anybody else nervous that the new ownership just turned the organization over to "the guy in the next office."

I know that is harsh - Nonis is qualified for the job - but wouldn't responsible owners want to at least talk to candidates outside the organization? Would they not at least wanted to interview somebody from an organization like Detroit or New Jersey - teams with long track records of success? Or somebody from LA or Chicago? Two high profile teams that recently rebuilt and won championships?

Exactly!

O god..

 

[TheBigThree]

I thought by now they would fire brian colangelo, pretty weird timing overall.

Dear God! If Nonis does that I will rage.

 

[trellaine201]

Wow mccown thinks burke didnt trade kadri, gardiner for lu. That got him fired. Overpayment in my opinion.

 

[TheSilencer]

As of him being dismissed, the organization was still in partnerships with a number of foundations and groups in Toronto... He WAS doing it until he got fired.[/B]

It really depends on what Leaf fans you're talking about. Pretty sure you aren't going to get a consensus on this being a great move by the organization, so.....

Sure he was, and he isn't ANYMORE, which makes him a nobody from the leafs perspective.

Again, all past tense.

Again, You haven't said anything to dispute hockeyfanz's claim that Burke is a nobody NOW from the leafs viewpoint. Instead you went on a pointless rant about how the poster is sitting at their mom's basement etc., which, could be said about every single poster in here.

Zero substance.

 

[G51 K81*]

If Gardiner is traded for Luongo I will be PISSED!

I would trade Rielly before Gardiner.

 

[FireEverybody*]

who the f cares? You're one of the wort teams in entire NHL.

I'm so sick of fans that care about the names on Jerseys/stat sheets - and not the results in standings.

But we would be even lower in the standing with out them ...

I wouldn't do that trade. I could part with Kadri, and a lower prospect, but not Gardiner.

 

[Jerkini]

You have to think Nonis wouldn't go for that either. And if something like that does happen, good lord we're in for some rough times all over again.

If this is the deal.. How bad does Burke really look for saying no?

 

[ForzaItalia]

We actually have a future.

Any team can say that though after stinking up the joint for as long as we have.

 

[Longshot]

McCown saying this is 100% due to Luongo.

He also said Gillis wanted Kardi and Gardiner and Burke would not do it.

If that was Vancouver's price for a 33-year-old goalie with that contract, then Burke was absolutely right in not making the trade

 

[G51 K81*]

Gardiner alone would be a ridiculous overpayment.

 

[Highlander23]

having gards, lupul, dion on this team for pretty much done goods?

the pool talent we have now...

If we are sitting here mentionning player names, then i can tell you that every team has players of that caliber, and even better. I want a GM to stop telling me that the objective is the playoffs, i want someone who have a long term plan. If we have to suck, lets suck good and get the best player possible.

where that build through the draft thing have gone ?

 

[ULF_55]

What a joke of a franchise. Why now? The timing is ridiculous. I guess we have meddling owners again.

I think the timing is perfect.

A short who gives a frick season to get the ship in order.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Bob McGowan is a complete moron. Its funny to watch him hold back his joy, but then say that Nonis will dismantle the Leafs, they will win then Burkes who legacy will be a failure. What a tool.

 

[Bomber0104]

If this is the deal.. How bad does Burke really look for saying no?

He doesn't look bad and shouldn't be fired...

but then again...

he shouldn't have driven the team into the sewer every single year to the point where we are now desperate to the point of bringing in Luongo.

Fall on your sword, sleep in the bed you make, you know what I mean.

 

[KuleminFan41]

I wonder if we do give up Gardiner and Kadri to get Luongo,the Anti Burke fans will ***** about it. Almost makes me want it to happen

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

If that was Vancouver's price for a 33-year-old goalie with that contract, then Burke was absolutely right in not making the trade

34 in a few months, on top of about $2 million of cap hit the Leafs will take on for a few seasons after Roberto retires.

 

[TmlHockeyFan]

McCown saying this is 100% due to Luongo.

He also said Gillis wanted Kardi and Gardiner and Burke would not do it.

I wouldn't do that trade either.

If you fired Burke because of that I SHAKE MY HEAD.
