From the sounds of it, Burke is out because he refused to move on a Luongo deal. Burke didn't want to do it while pretty much everyone else in the organization did. So I guess start your countdown on Bobby Luongo, Toronto Maple Leaf.
Sounds like everyone is pretty shocked by the move. Burke and the Toronto brass were all at the Marlies game last night and apparently no one at today's BOG meeting had any clue this had even a possibility of happening. Burke must have been blocking the trade making it the hill he was willing to die on.
