Toronto WAY over the cap?

He signed the equivalent of 5 draft picks out of college though and he'll have space to use. It's not all doom and gloom there.

Didn't they do that already though? They had a huge amount of cap space at the start and now find themselves in a cap crunch situation with a roster that is not all that stellar for the money spent.

It boggles the mind.

Yet... Burke is a GENIUS!

Not really, no. They got rid of Kubina for nothing (dumb), then revamped their disgustingly bad D. Now, next is getting rid of all the useless garbage they'd acquired over the years and replacing them with either prospects or signing some solid players next summer to go with Kadri, Bozak and Kessel. I hate defending Burke, he's a tool, but guaranteed he knows what he's doing here.

it's pretty close to it, plus he burned 3 draft picks on Kessel, who from a few guys I have talked to could be another Heatley in the making (that might be a bit harsh), but he is another me first player, not team first.

A bunch of 3rd and 4th roudners sure... good luck with that.

Aren't all one-dimensional snipers like that though? They're all selfish, me-first type of guys. The Terell Owens'/Plaxico Burress' of the NHL.
