However, like Elliot Friedman said in his blog, a GM when looking at a player thinks to themselves, would this player help my team. In Toronto's case, a good goalie could have been the difference between the playoffs and not. Does Burke push hard for this in an effort to save his ass.
What would Toronto have that the Canucks would want now?
