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  |
Outside of the Kessel deal does Burke really have a history of moving prospects for right now guys?
He moved established guys to get the pick for Sedin, moved Beauchemin to get Gardiner, kept the top prospects in Anaheim while taking them to contender status, reportedly refused to move Kadri/Gardiner for Luongo.
Seems like a lot if the fear about Burke canning the rebuild and going for win now is based off one single deal in which he got a 40 goal scorer back.
