sickbeast said:Brian Burke needs to be fired immediately. He has made some good trades like the Phaneuf and Gardiner deals, but he should have done a proper rebuild and the Kessel trade was really, really bad.
His bad moves have far outnumbered his good moves unfortunately. I was excited when the Leafs signed him, but at this point I'm frustrated and it's obvious that his efforts have been misguided.
I agree with Don Cherry - we need more Ontario born players on the team.
The Kessel trade is not bad. Kessel is 24 and just cracked 70 points this season, he's been trending upward since we got him. Burke's failure comes from not being able to land a #1 center for Kessel to take his game even higher (80 points and up) and his inability to land a true #1 goalie.
