I don't think you can blame Burke for the Leafs crapping the bed at the end of the season a year after he was let go. That blame has to go to the players who didn't perform or the coach. Maybe even the new GM. He still got them some very key pieces like Kessel, JVR, Lupul, Kadri, Gardiner, Phaneuf, Franson, Rielly who are all quality players most teams would like to have.
