I will repeat, because I live here and I had forgotten, just how lousy the Nucks were when Burke took over, he got the Messier Canucks who were god awefull and completly lacking in both talant and prospects, he rapidly turned them into the Naslund Bertuzzi Canucks who were a good team by anyones standards,mostly by trades while at the same time drafting the foundations of the current Canucks.
