He's right. If they knew in 2012 that Burke didn't want to trade for Luongo they should have fired him then and by now the smoke would have cleared and on Sunday they could announce the Luongo trade and it would have been drama free. Now if/when they announce the deal there is going to be a lot of drama and 2nd guessing of ownership meddling as well as added pressure on Luongo. Typical Leafs dysfunctional ownership.
Really spare us the BS that you had been thinking about this for months and just decided that optically the worst timing for this announcement was in owership eyes the right time. Burke doesn't strike me as a man is going to change the way he operates and acts and if the ownership didn't like the way he conducts himself they surely would have come to that conclusion last year. Fools!
