RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted November 12, 2008 Wow - I knew he was likely leaving after the season - but seems a bit early. Don't see how this will affect the Ducks this season - but hopefully negatively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

imisssergei 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2008 There has to be something more to this. The Ducks a month or so ago were talking mulit-year extension for Burke. I wouldn't be surprised if he resigned in order to start official talks with Toronto. Everyone and their brother knows the Fletcher wants Burke for the job, and Burke wants the job...

glasgowcelticwing 18 Report post Posted November 12, 2008 Wow never saw this coming...... well i take that back. the guy traded away alot of exciting young talent so he could fit in alot of over paid aging players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) There has to be something more to this. The Ducks a month or so ago were talking mulit-year extension for Burke. I wouldn't be surprised if he resigned in order to start official talks with Toronto. Everyone and their brother knows the Fletcher wants Burke for the job, and Burke wants the job... Burke said not that long ago that he would make up his mind whether he would stay in Anaheim or not and that decision would come by Christmas. Clearly, that decision was made quicker than expected. Burke tried to leave the Ducks in June but was told he had to honour the final year of his contract by Bettman because Gary wanted to stop the hiring of executives who were still employed by other teams.

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted November 12, 2008 edicius is gonna cream himself! Nelson laughing at Burke is anything and everything this thread needs. Very wise move by the Ducks' brass considering Burke's potential motives as this season unfolds...especially the deadline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly....but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised given all the rumors surrounding Burke this past year. I'd be very willing to bet the powers above knew what was likely coming as the season unfolded had Burke remained in power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted November 12, 2008 Hahaha Good move by the Ducks, I was actually hoping to see how he would further destroy the Ducks at the deadline or during the summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
