Brian Burke rumors. Update.
Not a rumor, but a fact...
A team spokesperson says the reason Burke lets Senior VP of hockey ops Bob Murray handle all discussions with the Toronto Maple Leafs is to avoid any evidence of impropriety. The question stemmed from speculation that Burke would leave the Ducks to be the Maple Leafs' general manager at the end of this season -- and if Burke would make any deals between his current team and potential future club to benefit the Leafs at the Ducks' expense.
