Leafs fire Maurice, eye Nonis for management role Quote:

Nonis would be brought in to handle the Leafs' managing duties through next season, with speculation suggesting the Maple Leafs would then approach Brian Burke at the conclusion of the season, with designs on Burke overseeing the entire hockey operation with Nonis continuing to occupy a management role as well.

Getzlaf to Leafs for...?
just kidding.
