Former Toronto Maple Leafs' general manager Brian Burke has always been pretty vocal. Always willing to call it as he sees it, Burke has been even more vocal the last couple of years as he's taken on an analyst role for Sportsnet. Recently he made an appearance on the very popular "Spittin Chiclets" podcast and he took aim at current Leafs' general manager Kyle Dubas once again. Burke was asked if the Leafs could win with their top heavy contracts and Burke's answer was a straight forward "No". The former GM added that the only way the Leafs can really get things going is if they make a trade. "It gets better, how about giving 4 guys $40 [million]?" asked Burke. "They got half their cap, it's $81.5 million, $40 million in 4 guys, so guess what the math doesn't work. They've got to trade Nylander and get a defenseman." What do you think of Burke's comments?
