If he thought the Leafs were close then, that only argues my belief that Burke was vastly overrated as a GM.
And you're right. Kessel isn't 21 anymore. But he is still young 25 and now has a track record such that people are arguing the trade shouldn't be considered a loss for Toronto. But, if Burke wouldn't do such a trade now, I would count that to the good as a sign he can learn from mistakes.
