Burke did some good things in Toronto:
1. Giving us spare parts for Dion who at the time looked like the real deal,
2. Getting Kessel into Toronto which looked like a major win for the Bruins at the time but now you could argue Toronto won that trade.
3. Getting JVR into Toronto who has looked a lot better than I ever thought he would.
It's Nonis has made some big moves that have ensured Toronto some problems down the road including
Signing Dion through 2021 (7m lol) & Clarkson through 2020 (5.25m LOL)
