oh ya ... they are approaching him ... just wish he could be a little more tight lipped ... but really that is not his personality .. so I just accept it and move on .. just would like less ammo for the haters is all ... specially where I live it is nuts .. since Burke was the GM here also ..
- LeafsfaninBC

He is too proud to keep it shut.

Especially at the deadline, when he bragged about getting 4 1st rounders offered to him.

All I thought was "oh, shut up already"

Actually, it was rumoured that Philly was interested in him lol
- jbold

ok fine lol

i still think the point i was trying to make was made

Brian McCabe. The market was Florida b/c he held a NMC and big contract and all the cards.

Luongo might be similar ...he's certainly in control.

ya cause that is ammo for the Leaf fans that have a hate on ... we don't need hate from the outside and inside also ...

IMO doing a great job and being respectul about it alone the way ... keep up the good work!

No matter what you do people think you want to feel important, on a power trip, I have given, I think, ample warnings to tone it down, I have interacted with all of you, talked hockey, tried to calm arguments down, but some think all I want to do is ban, can't win I guess..

I think fans are less mad at Burke for missing the playoffs than they are for burke keeping Wilson as long as he did.

That is where the real hate begins.

Even more than the Kessel deal.

so again .. I say thanks ..

ok fine lol

Yes it was. Out of all the trades, those 2 were the only one that was leaked out.

And people tend to think that Burke loves talking to the media and has a big mouth.

think Gillis lets it get there when he's trying to negotiate a long term contract with Schneider? If I'm Schneider I might have a concern or two about locking in long term with Lou on the roster.

I used to think you were an bumhole.

I was wrong. You're a solid guy.

And I also agree, you are doing a fine job. And you backed up what you preached.

Ban them all!!!

Thank god man! You feel important and that's good for your self esteem. Congrats!

He's just doing his job.

He's actually pretty fair. Leafman has banned me a bunch of times, but I deserves it 20% of the time.

yeah, and no real details other than loose stuff regarding locations

Luongo
- robin_steele264

naw... that'll be Edmonton's 2nd round pick.

- Dozzer

And that loose stuff was most likely just guesses. "Where would he fit best?"

Nope, it was lost on all!!

- The Law

I think Schneider knows he is set. And I think everyone knows Lu is gone as soon as a door opens.

Either way, I understand your outlook on it.

people start throwing out personal insults and reporting his posts... who cares enough to do that?

Agree, disagree, debate it ... its means nothing...if you take it personal... take up gardening
- senstroll

I don't care about the personal part... just find it tedious. Same non-argument ...rinse and repeat. I'm convinced that UG is actually a 55-65 year old woman.

Has Burke made some moves that backfired ... yes for sure!! What GM hasn't ?? NONE ... but in saying that will I take the team we have today (including prospects)over the one when he started ... that would be a big YES .. so IMO he is doing a decent enough job .. let the players that he aquired grow and in 3-5 more years still no success .. then sure get rid of him .. but until then let him finish the project that he has started ..

He's just doing his job.

He's actually pretty fair. Leafman has banned me a bunch of times, but I deserves it 20% of the time.

I've never deserved any ban. Refs are haters

GIVE ME YOUR LUNCH MONEY!!

How bout I give you a half eaten pop tart and a tuna sandwich? That's about as far as our relationship is going to go!

Dustin Penner UFA signing?
- cracka

you gotta think given where Penner played, etc... that BB will kick the tires on that one... and the history in combination with the waffles... no brainer.
