Brian Burke Reveals the Member of the Core Four He Would Trade
Brian Burke is no longer in an NHL role, but he is still one of most influential voices in the sport.
With the Maple Leafs in a tricky situation, Burke has now shared which member of the Core 4 he would trade.
Brian Burke speaks about the Core 4:
I would say this, I've been there, pretty open in real time about the fab 4 and the contracts they were given at that time.
I called it out in real time. I recall you remember that Nicky. I said it was a mistake the sequence they signed them and the amounts they paid them. The no trades the terms, I went after all of that every bit of it.
Again it's real simple, when things don't work out. It's real simple to say I told you, a lot of people didn't. I said it in real time.
So ya, I think there's some real question about how they will put this all together, what they do next, there's some timeframes that kick in now.
This job is flat out hard! But it can be done.

Brian Burke chooses which member of the core 4 to trade
You gotta figure out two things. You gotta figure out what to do with Mitch Marner and if Auston Matthews wants to sign back in Toronto.
If Matthews decides to resign. I'm saying that you probably have to trade Nylander first out of that group.
Tavares has been a great guy, I don't think he's going anywhere. He's a good guy, in general he's worked his ass off and he's a good player.

It's hard to imagine any of the four Leafs cornerstones being traded, but Burke definitely has a point!
