A source tells The Canadian Press that general manager Brian Burke is out as general manager of the NHL team.
He held the position for just over four years.
The Maple Leafs have missed the playoffs in every season under his watch.
Toronto is coming off a disappointing 13th-place finish in the Eastern Conference.
Before joining the Maple Leafs, Burke previously served as GM of the Vancouver Canucks, Anaheim Ducks and Hartford Whalers.

Wonder if it may have been based on the potential Luongo trade?
All I have to say is hahahahaha. A bit disapointed tho I had hoped Burke would stay there forever and keep running the Leafs into the ground. I hope he goes to Montreal next!
Apparently he didn't want to trade the farm to get Luongo. Ownership wants Lou. What a joke, giving away picks and prospects isn't going to help this team long term.
That's a really weird move to make to my thinking with going into the shortened season you would think they would have waited.
Todd in the 403
Good Ole Leafs!! I hope they trade Morgan Reilly and get him out of hockey hell!!
LEAFS SUCK!!!!
good riddance!! never cared for his arrogance...go leafs!!
Victory for Don Cherry who hated him !!!
Don was right..
And this only received several hours coverage on the Toronto Sports Network and of course Rogers, the other Toronto Sports Network.
Don was right eh? Funny, the American team in the World Juniors smoked the Canadians. Not sure how right Mr. Cherry is.
Why do the fans care who runs it? The Leafs have the Toronto media (national)locked and there is a waiting list decades long for season tickets.The last time the Leafs had a team the league only had 6 teams.
I lost interest years ago after many years of boring hockey with clutching, grabbing and fighting as the only entertainment.
