Leafs Fire Burke

TORONTO -- After two years with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Brian Burke finds himself on the unemployment list along with former head coach Ron Wilson. An unknown official from MLSE has told the Leafs' website that "Burke was an okay general manager, but we feel that there are others who could do his job better tenfold." The Maple Leafs are expected to replace Burke with former Vancouver Canuck Pavel Bure. Ron Wilson does not currently have a replacement, but did have a comment for the Toronto Press: "I dklfdfskldfskn."

Viva la Russia

And is Wilson speaking like Don Vito from Viva la Bam?

Leafs Sign Vets Turco, Prospal



TORONTO - It was announced by Toronto's GM Pavel Bure today that the Leafs have signed veteran players Vaclav "Vinny" Prospal and Marty Turco, each to 2-year contracts. Prospal will make $3 million each year and Turco will make close to $5 million. Bure says that "[The Leafs] hope that the signing of Turco will help us unload JS Giguere's behemoth of a contract." Expecting Giguere to be in the AHL next season, this puts the Leafs at a salary of $38.435, which is below the league minimum. This may cause the Leafs to keep Giguere in the NHL this year.

The Leafs also sent Colton Orr and a mid-level prospect to the Oilers for W Robert Nilsson.

Leafs lines:

Nilsson - Prospal - Kessel
Kulemin - Grabovski - Stalberg
Bozak - Mitchell - Sjostrom
Hanson - Primeau - Rosehill

Phaneuf - Schenn
Kaberle - Komisarek
Beauchemin - Finger

Turco
Giguere

I'll also simulate the next season and give another update.
