His track record is pretty good actually. Not sure what qualifies as spotty. People around here love to criticize the Kessel trade, but if that is his worst trade, that is pretty damn impressive. Even in a losing trade he still got a young, PPG sniper who is currently and has been since the trade was made, better than either Seguin or Hamilton. Long run, Bruins won that trade, but so far I would rather have Kessel. Sorry for the sidetrack, but if Burke's record is "spotty" then there isn't a single GM in the league whose record isn't.
