That would make sense: Randy Carlyle was a Burke import from his days with the Anaheim Ducks when they won the Cup together. If the Leafs are really looking to start up fresh and head in a new direction, there’s no sense doing it with a bunch of spare parts that he brought around. Maybe it’s time that the Leafs’ successful AHL coach Dallas Eakins gets a promotion?
Stay tuned…

UPDATES:
Greg Brady’s on a roll right now…
I can tell u one thing I’m CERTAIN of: Kessel won’t remain a Leaf after 2013-14. Burke is tied to Kessel. The new guy won’t be. He’s gone.

Kessel was very long shot to want to stay anyway. Use some logic here, so best to trade him. I stand by this: gone at this year’s deadline.

Seems like Carlyle will stick around…
Nonis on Randy Carlyle: “We’re thrilled that he’s going to start the season with us.” Notes that he both hired and traded Carlyle,
