Maple Leafs Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
No one expected the Molson Canadian World Hockey Summit to pass through Toronto without hearing a lot from Maple Leafs president and general manager Brian Burke.
True to form, he was front and center when the globe's most influential hockey people gathered from Aug. 23 to 26, especially when the focus of the conference zeroed in on whether the NHL would participate in the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
