His free agent moves + goaltending were his faults, IMO.
Bernier was Nonis though for what it's worth.
Burke`s one fault is he should of did a total rebuild when he took over the Leafs. In the end he patched as most GM`s do , it was a 5 year redo before they got any taste of success regardless of what direction he took . The Leafs could of had 3-5 of among the best young studs in hockey right now if they played thier cards right . And these could of been your foundation .
But his trades were A+ , getting Lupul, Dion, Gardiner, JVR and Bernier for next to zilch is the only reason why the Leafs are any good right now .
At least he had the nuts to take a chance without giving up the moon with the exception of Kessel .
