from Eric Stephens of the LA Times,
The Ducks are having talks with General Manager Brian Burke about a contract extension amid increasing speculation that the Toronto Maple Leafs have targeted him for the same job in their organization.
Michael Schulman, the Ducks’ chief executive, would not say whether there have been formal discussions to extend Burke’s contract, which runs through next season.
The Ducks’ bid to repeat as Stanley Cup champions ended Sunday.
“We talk probably every day,” Schulman said. “We’ve got a good relationship. We’re very happy obviously with his performance.”
Schulman denied a report in the Toronto-based Globe and Mail that an extension is on the table and the Ducks are awaiting Burke’s signature.
