Burke admitting to re-building again when he was not finished the first time is an admission of failure. Wilson's team style was offence first , leave the goalie out to dry , no banging. Carlyle's style is more jam, bang , roll up your sleeves and get dirty. Not many guys on the current roster fit the latter.

12/13 is Burke's last chance to get this right & not many GM's are going to be willing to help him land the players he wants and needs.

p.s I heard Kevin Lowe rented a barn in Lachute and has been training hard , maybe they'll be on the UFC 156 card somewhere in Canada next year ?

Sure they will, 2 first round picks will do the trick

actually, he admitted to a retool, not a rebuild. After 4 years of rebuilding, can you really say you're still rebuilding in the 5th?

Rome wasn't built in a day you know.

Although at this point I think the Leafs are more in a Rome is burning while Nero fiddles situation.
