TSN is reporting that General Manager Brian Burke will be staying with the his current team, the Anaheim Ducks, for now. Burke has one year left on his contract but plans to fulfill that final year before even contemplating leaving sunny California. There is no final word on whether or not Burke will re-up with the Ducks but one would assume if Burke plans to stay, a contract will be written up as soon as possible.
For the Leafs, this does not rule out Brian Burke being their next GM, it just diminishes the chances greatly. Cliff Fletcher was signed to a nineteen month contract, technically, Fletcher could fulfill that until Burke has finished his time in Anaheim then flock to the GTA. Though, it seems unlikely, there is still some hope for those clinging to the idea of Burke bringing a Stanley Cup to Toronto.
