Although burke has made some errors he still has made the leafs alot better then what they were 4 years ago.

You could probably say our future is brighter now but we most definetly are not better then we were 4 years ago Banned Secretly Loves Montreal

Registered Posting Freak Quote:Originally posted by Alex@Jul 4 2012, 09:50 PMOk well when you look at standings then ya i see your point, but on paper we have improved a ton while getting a lot younger. In 4 years, Burke has brought in a #1 Dman (Phaneuf), an elite top line scoring winger (Kessel), put together a top 10 prospect pool, and acquired more quality depth up front (bottom six wise). We just need that #1 C, you could say we need a goalie but its more a want, Reimer will shock next year IMO. All of this, + we are the youngest team in the NHL (or right behind the Oilers). People tend to look at the negatives, he still has a good amount of work to do ahead of him but he has the pieces to make it work, i think Burke has done a really solid job and i would resign him no doubt, even if we miss the playoffs this year. |
