I know it's Eklund, but he says that the LEafs tried to get Dudley in the role that Poulin just got.
EklundRT @russostrib: Dave Poulin hired by Leafs as VP of Hockey Ops; that's the job Rick Dudley turned down to go to Atlanta, per sources #nhl

Poulin and Burke have been friends for eons, Burke was his first agent. Poulin also said on the radio that he's been involved and kept informed of hockey decisions with the Leafs for a little while now, that the decision to hire him was made a while back.

Yeah, well look who it's coming from. The thing I like about this Poulin signing is that he's a former college player and coach and he should have some good contacts and good standing within NCAA (ala Nieuwendyk).

I just got this off the Pension Plan Puppets site:
[Justin] Pogge's a good kid, but it just didn't work out for him in Toronto. I assured him I would find him somewhere to play this year.
Brian Burke speaking yesterday at the announcement of a partnership between Bruce Power and MLSE.
Colour me absolutely stunned that Brian Burke would announce that he is actively trying to move Justin Pogge and that no one in the Toronto media would report it.

I was reading the comments section to the "pogge signed" blog here at MLHS and someone said the same thing about Burke saying that at Bruce Power.

Apparently Burke is expecting Nonis to leave the Leafs next summer for a GM position somewhere. That is why Poulin was hired, as a succession plan to replace Nonis. thestar.blogs.com/thespin/
