Let's have a look at Burke's acquisitions:
Komisarek: ranked 237th among all D-men
Beauchemin: ranked 239th among all D-men
Gustavsson: ranked 36th (out of 45) among all goalies
Wallin: 0 goals and a -7 in 35 games
Exelby: 0 goals and a -4 in 31 games
Kessel: 1 meaningful goal in his last 15 games?
as respected and noted hockey writer Howard Berger observed:
He [Burke] has traded the Leafs’ first-round pick in the next two NHL drafts. The free agents he signed last summer [Michael Komisarek, Francois Beauchemin, Colton Orr and Jonas Gustavsson] have had a negligable impact on the hockey club to this point.
You lose again, fool.
i lose nothing, you wanna compare gm's? hahah, you will lose sorely.... gaineys only job was to win the cup in 5 years time, your going on 7, in 6 more yrs, lets see what happens between both teams in those next 6 seasons, again, i dont think the outcome will make you happy, but you will probably have jumped off the champlain bridge by then , or got run over by your fellow scab friends, "wagon" ....

Sorry but these are straight facts.Not fiction.Not bragging,no insults.Burke hasnt had any positive impact yet wether you like it or not...
Of course you are correct GHG but sadly our two leaflovers don't deal in facts, so your excellent arguments are wasted on them. Since their team is so incredibly bad, their only comfort lies in slamming other teams. Since they have no facts on their side, they resort to childish insults, deletion of posts and threads, veiled intimidation, and outright lies in their laughable attempts to defend their beloved leafs. The rest of the world sees their farcical behavior for what it is, but our two leaflovers will never admit the truth - sad, but a fact of life.

I don't think Burke will be around long enough to make the comparison.
However, unlike you, I'm not chicken shit...
Wanna bet?

so you think the job gainey was hired to do and what he said he could do has been done huh? funny, i didnt hear of a parade in downtown montreal in the last 6 years, o wait i apologise, there was, the Alouettes showed up Les Scabitants as to how a parade is done ,..... Burke has inherited (like i already told you) a ton of bad decisions made by the previous 2 gms, it takes time to undo all the bad that was done...
do you really feel gainey is a good GM anymore? seriously? ... Montreal will NEVER win a Cup under Bob Gainey... and the only reason the media and fans are not calling for his head is because of his past. thats so typical anyways of Canadiens fans, ALWAYS living in the past.... well, newsflash, it is 2010 and your going nowhere FAST!
Not talking about Gainey here,but the overrated ''Sam Pollock wannabe'' Burke.And so far his record in To is pathetic,numbers don't lie.As for Gainey,I agree he's pathetic too,but at least his team is ahead of Burke's...
And he got Camalleri,Gionta and Bergeron without whom the Habs would probaly be hanging with the Laghs near the bottom of the conference...with sub-500 record.
you wouldnt ever take my bet,
I can get a pair of tickets in the Saputo Zone anytime. G1G gave you a chance to make a real bet , then I gave you 2:1 odds with Jessy agreeing to hold the wager but you pussied out.
