TSN rumors are ongoing about where Brian Burke will be going if his contract with Anaheim isn't renewed... if you're a Leaf fan, please vote in this poll!

Well he has a cup under his belt...Although I do believe he came on to Anaheim with some key parts already on board.

Yep hes not afraid to make that big trade.
I was listening to the Fan590 today and they had people calling in and say who they would like to see. Brian Burke was obviously on the list as was Neal Smith, Colin Campbell, Glen Sather, Jim Rutherford, Doug Gilmour (Not liking that one. Maybe as an assistant GM. But they need someone with experience), Steve Yzerman (Red Wing for life I think), Kevin Lowe, Darcy Regeir, and David Poile just to name a few. One name that someone threw out there that I kind of liked was Doug Risebrough. He's done some good things in Minnesots and kept them fairly competitive. But why the hell hasn't anyone mentioned the name Pierre Lacroix?

Glen Sather would be interesting. As would Colin Campbell. I'd LOVE to see Gilmour even if he doesn't have any experience. This is the time when you give a newbie a shot because they can't make the team any worse!!
Bring in Gilmour as GM and Domi as head coach!!! :) :D

Well we don't have to worry about it, he announced hes staying with the Ducks.
Which means in two weeks they'll be having a press conference to say he's going to Toronto.
That league is filled with obsessive compulsive liars. They say there's NO CHANCE of something happening only to announce soon after that it's actually happening.
Don't believe anything you see until the 08/09 season has begun and he's actually NOT GM'ing the Leafs.
