BigTuna & maxpower29: what is your honest assessment of Burke's positive & negative moves in T.O.? It's interesting to see if he'll have the same impact in Calgary (before he hires his eventual replacement).

I liked Burke's moves a lot. It's ironic, the man who got more crap than anyone for a trade, in retrospect, made so many great ones.
An underrated move that doesn't get the hate it deserves was when he signed Martin Gerber when the team was already out of the playoffs and they had CUJO/Pogge to send them spirilling down the standings. Instead, he signs Gerber for no reason, and he plays better than any Leaf goalie and their draft pick got worse.
