Brian Burke was officially named the 13th GM in Leafs history yesterday afternoon, addressing the media with brief commentary on his plans for the team’s future. Burke will expect a tough work ethic from his squad, and will continue evaluation of his lineup on the Leafs’ road trip this week.
It appears that Mats Sundin does not fit the blue print for Toronto’s future.
On the ice the Leafs defeated Philadelphia 4-2 at Air Canada Centre.
