Would Burke Go To Toronto

from William Houston of the Globe and Mail,
TSN’s Mike Milbury says Anaheim Ducks general manager Brian Burke — first on the fan wish list of Maple Leafs managing prospects — wants the job and will take it if (and it’s a big one) he is assured he will not see or hear from Richard Peddie outside board meetings. Peddie is the president and chief executive officer of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, which owns the Leafs.
Milbury, by the way, may know more than he’s revealing about Burke’s interest. He spent time with Burke last week in Toronto when they were shooting TSN’s Off The Record.

I remember an article from back in mid-November that Burke has refuted articles that he is taking on the Toronto job. He has said that he and his wife love the West Coast, the new owners of the Ducks’ organization, and they will not uproot again.
It seems to me that William Houston is just stirring up the pot yet again.
This doesn’t make sense to me at all.
