Interesting to see some of the speculation coming out, even against what Burke just said. Is there anyway that someone can sticky the quotes from Burke on the Fan after the presser, because it might quiet some of the weird speculation.
That being said, I don't a 100% believe what Burke says is what he's going to do, but from what he said I don't think there's reason to worry about Sven or Gadureau being traded anytime soon. I think Backlund may be heading out, but at the same time after a rough start Backlund seems to be turning it around into the mold that Burke is looking for.
I think you can all but guarantee that Stajan, Cammalerri, Butler, Bouma and one of Ramo/Berra is gone by the end of the season. I can see Knight and Ferland up with the big club much sooner.
