No longer interested is far from changing teams. I'll be a Leaf fan til the day I die, but this move barring some unforseen bit of info that comes out in the press conference, comes as a complete shock and I cannot see a replacement on the market that is a viable replacement.Nick wroteCOLONOr the timing is new member of the board/chair/management not agreeing on approach to the existing GM - but wanted him in there for CBA negotiations.
Or Burke family issue, and MSLE is good enough to fire him to pay out his contract (versus quitting/retiring).
Or Owners & Burke disagree on spending targets, Burke may have advised the owners something on behalf of Gary, which the board now believes (1 day of BOG meeting???) to be inaccurate, perhaps an internal organizational issue that will never come public.
But it COULD be Lou related... no way do we have enough information to believe that is the 'only' reason.
Extreme emotional responses are hilarious though. But yes, let's have the suits decide if we are Leaf fans or not
Carlyle nowhere near safe, reportedly.
Jim Nill is the only guy out there that MAY be available I'd have interest in.
Nonis and *gulp* Colin Campbell are reportedly the frontrunners for the GM job.
