After having some time to think about the GM change, I feel it is a step down in talent. Here is a list of Burke's moves as leafs GM:

as you can see, sometimes he might have overpaid; but he was always adding talented players. This trend was reflected in his record with other teams when he drafted Chris Pronger, the sedins, signing niedermeyer, trading for Pronger and etc.
This is the list of Nonis's moves with Vancouver:

as you can see, he didn't do much. The reason most people think he was a good gm was because of Luongo trade. However this trade would not have been seen as a slam dunk if Bertuzzi's career didn't go down the toilet. I don't think you should judge a GM based on one good trade and thats the point. Other then that he didn't do much. He doesn't have the track record of trading for talent or signing UFA's that burke does.
I know there wasn't any other GM free right before the season, but still I don't think Nonis is that good based on his record nor will he do better then Burke did.
