I think there will be a lot of people here who are going to get real upset real quick when he starts trading away prospects for players rather than letting them develop. We have been calling for a rebuild for a long time and now that it is finally here, and we have a growing cupboard of prospects that we can start to get a little excited about, we are going to give the reigns to a man with no patience in team building. Looks like a quick fix to avoid a real rebuild by the ownership to me.
The guy is a dinosaur from a pre cap era and we don't need him imo. Let the current management keep us moving forward, they have done a good job this summer (bring on the list of we hate Feaster because posts....) and we should let that continue.
I guess I will get trod on because this goes against the masses

Other than the Kessel trade what has he done that makes people think all he does is trade prospects?
Also because of the season that Toronto had before the Kessel trade they made a run for the last spot. Kessel was supose to get them over the hump.
The flames are nowhere near in the same situation. Unless Burke can trade for Crosby and Lunqvist there is no chance that the flames can make the playoffs.
