This should answer some of the emails I received today asking if Burke was behind the Leafs trade today. As I responded to many of you, he is still employed by the Ducks and would not anything unethical.
from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
The popular sentiment, at least until Brian Burke’s cellphone started ringing, was that his fingerprints were all over yesterday’s Toronto Maple Leafs trade.
“This is the fourth call I’ve had and you all have the same question,” he barked down the line from Boston, where he is visiting family for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. “No one from the Leafs talked to me about this, nor would it be appropriate for me to have any input. I am still officially an employee of the Anaheim Ducks.”
That could change by the end of the week, since an offer has landed in Burke’s hands.
Burke plans to stay in Boston until the end of the week but he will be talking to the Maple Leafs by telephone.
