Interesting, isn’t it? Not really, but alas—there’s a reason why I’m telling you this.

 

Whose decision is it to name the new GM?  The owner! OOPS! The owner, who is now suspended by the league, rendering him incapable of making such decisions.

 

What will the Ducks do? Oh that’s right—they still have a GM for the season! Wonder why that is? Maybe just maybe Samueli knew what was coming? After all, it’s not like there were warning signs. Oh, that’s right—I just outlined them all.

 

One thing is clear—under Burke the Ducks are a playoff contender, while the Leafs throw away the next season waiting for him.

 

Leafs fans can blame one man—Henry Samueli!
