Well Burke did clear the decks in Toronto so they could start their rebuild, so they have that in common. Of course, that was helped by the Kessel trade and the Ron Wilson extension. Some interesting Burke facts: he was the first Toronto GM since Gord Stellick (1989) to not make the playoffs in his tenure as Leafs GM and the first GM who was GM for more than one year to not make the playoffs in franchise history.
