Right move, wrong time.

There must be some weird reason/situation here that lead to this (other than his ineptitude).

I wonder if Nonis will take over. History will be repeating itself if that's the case.

I could see Burke not wanting to trade Luongo because he has faith in Reimer etc. and the ownership wanting a real goalie for once.

I can't recall seeing a GM Diddle up as much as he did.

Please let them hire Milbury, Doug MacLean or Pierre Gauthier as a replacement .... the entertainment value would be priceless.

He probably screwed the pooch on the luongo deal. Must be. Or finally had the balls to stand up to leafs ownership. This must be nonis' team now

Well like I said in the other thread I don't think Burke is the biggest Luongo fan around.

Milbury? But yeah..Burke has obviously failed. It's just the timing that is ridiculous...As others are speculating, maybe it's linked to Luongo.

I don't think it's Luongo so much as his contract. Burke has gone on record saying he despises those.

Leafs ownership has put the vice on their GM to "win now" in the past.

You'd think that management would've had a sense of whether or not Burke would go for Luongo before now.

Now the media sh!tstorm around the Leafs will be 100 times more ridiculous as training camp opens...exactly what they should've tried to avoid.

You'd think this is a firing that could've been done months ago if it is really about Luongo.

Anyway, good entertainment, as always, from Ol' Bluey.

Price don't matter when so few teams could take him on, much less need him.
