Toronto Maple Leafs fire GM Brian Burke with season imminent - ESPN

Toronto Maple Leafs fire GM Brian Burke with season imminent - ESPN: "Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment president Tom Anselmi said at a news conference that longtime Burke assistant David Nonis will fill the job. Burke will stay as a senior adviser.

Anselmi acknowledged that four years without a playoff berth factored into the decision. But ultimately, he added, ownership wanted a different look at the top.

Canada's largest telecommunication companies, Rogers Communications and BCE Inc., took control of the Toronto Maple Leafs and NBA's Toronto Raptors after the $1.3 billion deal closed in August."
