This is all true but the Leafs knew what they were getting into. Going in Burke said as much. I don't agree with his style of building and thought Toronto needed to go the Kings' route but Burke was doing what he said he would do.Quote:

You don't trade for Luu if you are rebuilding the Kings' way....
