Toronto finally signs Burke

In probably the most "seen it from a mile away" moment this year, Brian Burke signed a 6 year deal to become the Toronto Maple Leafs team president and general manager.  The deal is for the remainder of this season, plus 5 more at $3 million per, according to the Globe and Mail.

Toronto hopes he can enact the same type of turn-around he accomplished in Anaheim.  But some feel it will require a total rebuild of the team.  I think that may be a little drastic however.  Cliff Fletcher did a respectable job and Toronto is not terrible right now.  A lot of work still needs to be done, but however you look at it, I think it's a great move for the Leafs.
