I'm not a fan of Brian Burke, but to say he has something against Ontario players is simply false. Burke has been the GM for 3 drafts with the Leafs. They have drafted 8 Ontario kids in those 3 years. Does anyone here really think that Burke would not trade for a player that hails from Ontario if he thought it was the right move? Nothing but a bunch of hyperbole last night, time to move on.......
His biggest blunder was giving up the two 1st round draft picks (a 2nd round pick was also included) for Kessel. You can't make that kind of trade when you are rebuilding, especially when you knew that there was a high probability that the traded draft picks would be very high choices. Boston fans love Burkie though.
