This is awesome, what a warm fuzzy way for Luongo to come to Toronto if this trade does come true. "No worries Robbie, a GM was only willing to be fired in order for you and your contract to not come here, don't concern yourself with that at all"

Yep. The optics are just horrible and it's not like Luongo needed any more baggage. If he goes through tough times in Toronto it's going to be just a disaster. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Lou.

I would love to see Burke take over the Islanders and try bringing them back to glory in time for their move to Brooklyn

"A change in leadership direction".

There's only a couple of ways a new GM can "change" leadership direction a hand full of days before a season even begins.

It's appropriate. The Leafs want to trot out the ownership change as the reason for Burke's dismissal. But the Raptors stink so what's happening with them? And why isn't anyone getting fired there?

That is the same read I got on it as well. A little blame it on ownership and a lot of NO NO NO it has nothing to do with a certain goalie. Spare me. The timing makes no sense whatsoever otherwise.

Down Goes Brown ‏@DownGoesBrown
The Leafs just fired a GM I thought should be fired and I'm convinced they've screwed it up. The experience of being a Leafs fan, everyone!

The owners' press conference to ratify the new deal.
