I agree with those who think Burke had a hand in this, Burke usually has a good eye for talent. Hope he's right about Colbourne.

They are happy because he would have had to go on waivers and would have been claimed. If it wasn't for the waiver rule (and the Leafs needing to keep 2 goons) they would have kept him or needed more to move him.
