Also, Burke talked about the GM search like it was going to take the time it took to find the right people, going back and taking a guy from his last job just seems like the easy way out in my opinion.

I think that's true if he hires Poulin in the next few days here, but it's possible that we don't have a new GM until June, and at that point can we really say he didn't conduct a thorough search even if Poulin IS the guy?
I agree with you about LA, but Nashville and Phoenix aren't all that good. Certainly not bad by any means, but it's tough to say the executives from those teams are distinctly ahead of the executives from the Leafs.
Personally, if it's not Futa or Benning, then I don't think we got the best guy. Everyone else is pretty close, so taking Poulin over the others wouldn't bother me. As long as Nieuwendyk and Regier aren't the guy, then I'm good.
