Trade #28 – Toronto trades Francois Beauchemin to Anaheim Ducks for Jake Gardiner, Joffery Lupul & 2013 conditional 4th Round Pick – February 9, 2011
Thoughts: Lupul rejuvenated his career in Toronto for a few years, while Jake Gardiner turned into a great – if underappreciated – defenseman with Toronto. Burke’s knowledge of Gardiner and Lupul was huge during this trade.
Grade: A
Trade #29 – Toronto trades Kris Versteeg to Philadelphia Flyers for 2011 1st Round Pick (Stuart Percy) & 2011 3rd Round Pick (Josh Leivo) – February 14, 2011
Thoughts: A first round pick for Versteeg was a great deal by Burke. Unfortunately their scouting department did an awful job with Percy, but they made up for it with the drafting of Leivo.
Grade: B+
