The only real morsel that we got from the Leafs press conference that Burke's 'style' did not mesh well with the ownership group. Remember new ownership took over in August and something happened since then until today that Burke overstayed his welcome, the status quo for him changed from that day on and he obviously was not going to get a 100% backing from the new owners. Funny that they kept him in an adversary role instead of making a clean break.

The Luongo thing and the personality conflict kind of overlap IMO.

Unless Burke speaks out (which he likely won't while under contract), I guess we'll never know. The next couple of days and a possible acquisition of Luongo might be telling.
