I'm not sure about Kekalainen. He did a pretty good job, of scouting in St. Louis, but his eye for talent doesn't necessarily mean he's a good negotiator. He's probably better off as an assistant GM from my impression from the draft special a few years back. I'd put a guy like Burke #1 on my list. He simply doesn't dump assets. But I guess with 3 1st rounders this year, a talent evaluator with a more intricate knowledge of this years' prospects is someone they're looking to.
