The National Hockey League's worst-kept secret is finally out of the bag, as the Toronto Maple Leafs introduced Brian Burke as their new president and general manager on Saturday.
''You're talking about the Vatican if you're Catholic, you're talking the centre of the hockey universe, you're talking about one of the most important jobs in hockey running the Toronto Maple Leafs,'' Burke said. ''It's a dream job.''
Burke will reportedly earn $3 million annually on a six-year deal. He replaces Cliff Fletcher, who was hired as interim general manager following the firing of John Ferguson in January.
