Goddamn.
Also, DiPietro may have injured his groin again in Germany, but is currently saying he's ready to go. I give him until Feb 1st before he tears it again

So Burkie is still the real GM behind the scenes?
What does your dad think?
This.
The Vancouver GM smells blood plus one at least Burke was good at trades ( excluding the Kessel one)

Shit, Burke out? Was this even hinted at pre-Lockout?

Right, because Burke was a master at getting great trades out of teams not named Anaheim.

Pressure is on nonis to succeed, and FAST
Even he was saying "we have hard decisions to make quickly"
I give it 2 seasons until his legs need to be amputated.
Wasn't it said that Nonis will continue to build for the future, though? Trading a bunch of prospects for a 33 year old would be counter-productive.
Nonis said he didn't even have an idea it was about to happen as of last night.
Didn't stop AA from trading away the best catching prospect and the club's #3 pitching prospect away for a 38 year old pitcher.

What's the point of waiting? It's hilarious though.

This made no sense before that press conference, this makes less sense afterwards. We need a change in leadership, so we're going to put in the protege of the guy we just fired?
The Canucks did that and they got Luongo.
It was more of a clash of professionalism. Burke not fitting the mold Rogers and Bell wants in an executive.

That had more to do with the incompetence of the Florida GM.

I think I just heard "The Twilight Zone" theme softly in the distance.
I understand they're saying that's the reason he was fired, I'm just saying it doesn't make sense.

Who you talking about? The Sportsnet guy?

and, on a grander scale, the incompetence of Mike Milbury
Agreed. It's incredibly random.
It's obvious Burke didn't get along with the new owners. The teachers pension board loved him, the Rogers/Bell guys don't like him. The blow ups with multiple reporters probably didn't help either.
TSN. Some guy reporting from the press conference.

So is the season officially on now that the Leafs have made a desperation move?
Didn't know you followed the Leafs this much, Beez.
Or is it your dad that told you all that? Or is this Mr. Beez Sr. taking over Beez's account?

Well if Nonis is GM now, Dreger will be getting even more rumours for his twitter feed.
They still have their 1st round pick, desperation hasn't fully started yet.

Which might indicate that the new owner's warnings to Burke about having it turned around in a year actually apply to all of Burke's front-office guys as well.

For a 38 year old, 2012 Cy Young winner, who's almost universally expected to continue to pitch at a high level for another 3-4 years.
I've learned a lot really quickly. Thanks guys!

Should have put Burke in charge of the Marlies

He's been saying that for at least a year. It's common sense that by season's end one of Anderson, Bishop or Lehner(unlikely) will be gone.
Anderson hasn't played a pro game since game 7 against the Rangers. He'll be rusty and will probably get injured (chicken or in-game).
I'd keep all 3 and see what happens.
BM has been getting calls on our goalies, I wonder who and what they're offering? Most teams seem pretty set in goal.

Dave Naylor is my dad's name. It's so weird to hear the name on the tv. Real talk.
