If refusing to trade for Luongo was the last straw for Burke it suggests a 'win-now' mentality that almost never ends well for anyone.

I'm sure it signals something. The Leafs just fired their superstar president and general manager so suddenly it's like they opened a trap door on him. He's gone in mid-sentence.

The biggest shame is that he's not around to properly explain what happened.

No one else will.
