It's true though - if Burke got fired for not wanting to trade Gardiner in a deal for Luongo that would lead to major outrage in Leaf nation. I don't think the board is crazy enough to do that/deal with the whiplash from a trade like that.

See ya Leafs (If the Price is Gards + Kadri) -- Unless it's something like Lu + Kassian

Hello Oilers


They are literally right down the road.

Fuck if you're going to pay for a goalie make it Bernier. Obviously not pay Gardiner, but ... fuuuck.

i'M DOWN FOR AN OBKL!


And i personally don't think Gardiner is in any deal. I just can't for the life of me see it. Nonis himself said (today) he's lower key than Burke, and less bold with moves.

yup im done with this team then ...


i have no fucking clue why they had to fire Burke ... there is a reason why he was the one in charge of building the team, and not the owners

Nonis seems to much of a puppet like a JFJ, unable to make his own decisions. His past deals as Canucks GM do not look at all assuring, other than the Lu trade (ironically)

2nd Rumor says:

Bozak + kadri - which makes much more sense

Roberto Luongo didn't cost Jake Gardiner + Nazem Kadri 5 years ago, and that was with a good contract. Suffice it to say that this rumor is false, a little common sense goes a long way gentleman...

You deduced all of that by Nonis' appearance at a press conference? No offense, but that is asinine.

his tenure as the Nucks gm wasnt anything special either ...http://forum.canucks.com/topic/190218-d ... t-history/ thats a brutal track record

he just reminds me too much of JFJ, i dont know why, and the presser just swayed my opinion even more

I've always liked nonis in his canuck days, like a fair number of nucks fans I felt like he was let go a bit too early.. personally it's a relief to not have a blustery loud obnoxious gm giving out qoutes to anyone who's willing to print them.. sit down, shut up and let your gm'ing do the talking... having said that I liked burke a lot as a human being, his stance on players doing charity work was simply awesome, and he seems like a genuinely honest person

McCown is a clown. His hockey knowledge is so limited. He gets by on popularity alone but his word is anything but trustworthy.

I trust only McKenzie, Dregger, Kypreos and the like.

Sure he's not a hockey guy but I don't believe he is a liar. He's always straightforward.
