Burke is a very good GM and the only two major mistakes that I can think of that he has made is hanging onto Cloutier in Vancouver and overpaying badly for mediocre dmen in Toronto. What bothers me about him is that he almost seemed to evolve into a wrestling character towards the end of his stint in TO, he was always a loudmouth but he went waaay overboard and it seemed like he enjoyed that the media was always talking about him. Hopefully, the time away from the spotlight has given him a chance to mellow out.
