“ we make more mistakes at the deadline than during the rest of the year,” Burke said. - Lance Hornby, Toronto Sun, Jan. 25, 2010.

“I believe our group (NHL GMs) makes more mistakes on July 1 than we do all the rest of the year combined,” said Burke. - Kevin McGran, Toronto Star, July 1, 2012.


lol. in terms of trading.... isn't it largely a zero sum game?
for every 'bad trade', doesn't that mean the other side made a 'good trade'?
why is he seemingly afraid to be involved in that?

Maybe by "we", he means his personal staff.

Would MLSE kindly buy this jokers contract out (read: FIRE HIM) already and try another approach.

Jay McClement sure fixed that Center problem didn't he??:

I still can't believe Connolly was able to get another big money contract last year. My team sucks I know that, but the Isles owner is only concerned about saving money. What's the Leafs excuse?
