Not sure about bad blood, but if I had to guess which of those two teams made the dumb offer I'm going with the 15 year old GM in Arizona.

Can't blame Burkie for lashing out.

When another organization's loose lips cause a commotion within the Flames, he has every right to call them out for not being able to act professionally.

And in true Burkian fashion, he held nothing back. Good on him.

Oh man, Burke lighting him up would have been funny.

Wasn't there a Toronto rumour as well?

I now want this to drag out longer, just so Burke outs this mystery GM.

Waiting for the inevitable "Which 20 First Round Draft Picks would the Leafs Part with For Dougie Hamilton..?" Story to come out of Toronto.

Toronto media probably still thinks they have a shot at getting Hamilton. Just so clueless.

I enjoyed the jab about the offer being insulting

I'm going to go ahead and assume Coyotes GM Chayka offered the Flames Pavel Datsyuk.

Trump says Hamilton is "highly over-rated".

Good, put this stupid rumour that has been stupid from day one to bed.

But aren't we supposed to complain about Burke being a blowhard and for him to stay out of the media? I don't know how to feel about anything anymore.

Doubt very much it was Jim Rutherford, so I'm going to assume it was John Chayka until reported otherwise. Not like the media has to be make many phone calls on this one.

the response to this nonsense rumour couldn't have been more beautiful. Usually not a big Burke fan (except when it comes to hairstyling), but this is awesome.

Begs the question... who's more stupid? Leaf fans or Leafs-centric Media?

He missed out on the original trade and then blew his wad on Reinhart and is now coming around full circle.

media. Some of those ideas ("JVR would have to included for sure! Maybe Bozak!") would have even made the standard HF member blush. You expect things like that from an average hockey fan who wants his team to rob others, but you'd expect better from the talking heads IMO.
