Burke Maple Leaf Deal Done - Announcement Saturday

Brian_Burke_Leafs According to TSN Brian Burke's contract is finalized and will be signed on Friday with an official announcement on Saturday.  The deal is rumored to be this season plus 5 more and he will be paid 18 million.  One of the sticking points that was finally agreed to, is a clause that the Leafs give Burke full autonomy over all decisions until 2014.  Burke will become the 13th GM in the 97 year history of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
