"Brian Burke has destroyed your franchise Leaf Nation and the true rebuild can't begin until him and Peddie are gone...
By trying to rush a rebuild into a year and a half rather than building through the draft for sustainable success like Chicago, Pittsburgh, and the Red Wings, Burke has insured that no matter how poorly the leafs do, they won't improve.
Part of being a GM these days is fiscal management. The way you get a good deal on players? Get'em young. For example, Stamkos, the league's leading scorer is still on an entry level contract earning something like 3.5 million. Sign him as a free agent this summer, and it will be like 7.
For those of you who defend the Kessel trade, JUST STOP IT ! IT WAS IRRESPONSIBLE AND HAS SET YOUR REBUILD BACK 2 YEARS! The leafs now have ZERO depth at centre... do you know who is a centre? Tyler Seguin... Burke did nothing but ensure the sustainability of the Boston Bruins, likely making them a force in the east for at least the next 3 years.
Like everyone says, until Toronto fans stop blindly following the rebuild its not going to improve. "
Hit the nail on the head perfectly!
