McKenzie tweeting Burke fired as Toronto GM
 

he is still waiting on official confirmation

you beat me to it, crazy news!

The Seguin deal, or the failure to acquire Luongo? Wonder which did it.

You can't fire me, I quit! Oh wait, severance package right? Well, you can fire me.

Doesn't take much.
Probably a disagreement with the owners about something CBA related. (?)

" I WILL buy the new Blackberry 10, and there is NOTHING you can do to stop me!"

Wow! I'm floored. If this turns out to be true I want to thank Burke for everything he did for the franchise. I know, I know, the Leafs didn't make the playoffs under his watch but they're in a better position than they have been in a long time and as much as the Kessel trade hurt he landed some beauties after that!

i am surprised it took this long i think he is very overrated in terms of his acomplishments

Wow! This came out of nowhere.

I wonder if he refused to trade for Luongo while ownership is insisting on getting him? I'm sure we'll find soon enough.

Pretty sure it didn't matter who was running the show, they were going to get canned with that setup. I didn't mind Burke.
