I could go on. And Bryan murrary largely built the 07' ducks team. Burke added Pronger who wanted to leave Edmonton, and Neidermeyer. so he added the 2 most important pieces (arguably) to the Ducks cup run.
He's not going back into a similar situation, he's going into another Canadian bubble market, with the highest vegas odds to finish last overall in the league.

We'll see what happens, but I was skeptical of this idea from the day rumors were going around. Would have much preferred Shannahan

what has Shanny done to earn a better reputation?
