While it's fair to criticize that deal, you're completely ignoring his other deals. Every GM has made his share of duds, and even those people criticize Burke for this trade, it really wasn't a robbery. Look at the guys other deals and tell me how many GM's could asset manage like he did with the Leafs - especially with some of the harshest media scrutiny at every possible move whether he did it or not.
