Anaheim really did Burke a favour with that trade, I don't think they knew Lupul had anything left in him, but the scouts and GM absolutely had to know what they had in Gardiner and Burke sure did as well. Burke as the Leafs GM would of really come in handy this year when Perry goes on the market, we would of had the inside scoop no question. Nonis, although Burkes freind, never worked in Anaheim and doens't have that rapport with Murray, and Burke is a scout so don't think he would be involved with the dealings anyway. Missed out IMO, it's gonna suck to see Perry land in Boston/Philly/NYR, Detroit I don't mind, they're a classy org that deserves it.
