I agree with the names you threw around there and I think that after Burke I'd believe Reiger would be an awesome fit plus he wouldn't have to move which must be a plus for most. Too bad we never got any closer with getting Bowman on board but after his new job with the Hawks I'd say he'll retire for good before he moves to another team now. On another note, I wonder if Fletcher is still going to try and make that 'grand slam' trade that he's been mentioning? Hmm.... Whatever happens, just please no more picks going out and no prospects; take from the 07/08 roster players only (Poni, Antro, Coli, Staj, Steen, White etc.) Thanks for the response.

The challenge for the guys doing the hiring is that they need to hire the best guy who can also handle the board of directors. That caveat will take a lot of people out of the mix. Burke is a guy who can do it, question is, is he best guy available? Ken Holland could do it, but will he be available. Doug Wilson may be available, but could he handle the board? I think not. What about Darcy Reiger? How good could he be if he had $ behind him? 2 weeks is right and it couldn't come any sooner. Remember Watters guaranteed that Burke would be here by the beginning of the season so the next couple of weeks should be interesting. Great question.

If Burke does not become the next GM of the Leafs, who would you put your money on right now based on available people at the end of the season? Is it possible their just grooming new assistant to the GM Joe Nieuwendyk to take over? Only 2 weeks till PRE-SEASON!!! :) Hey boss,
