Is anyone here in agreement that Brian Burke is by far the most over-rated General Manager in the National Hockey League? I hate this guy with a passion that I can't even put into words. Honestly, the only good thing he has ever done was drafted the Sedins for Vancouver. Sure, you can say he won the Stanley Cup with The Ducks, but the ground work was already laid. After he left there, the Ducks were left with nothing but over paid role players, and haven't had success after Burke was gone.
Now that he is in Toronto, he made by far one of the worst trades in the history of this league by sending 2 first round picks to Boston for Phil Kessel. He traded away the future for a chance to "win now." Well we all know how that is working out for him. It appears that Boston is going to get a top 5 pick in the coming draft again.
What are your thoughts on Brian Burke?
