The guy was talking about Burke pulling his hair out watching Iginla play in all 3 zones.
Iginla wasn't a defensive specialist, but was a better 3-zone player than Kessel.
All I was trying to say was Burke has traded for and drafted many one dimensional, offensive hockey players for his hockey teams, but that went over your head. I'm not saying Kessel is bad - he's a top 10 forward in the league, even though he's not good in his own end. I'd be fine with that as a fan.
