The easiest route to getting better is trading away picks and prospects, and overpaying UFAs. I don't know if that's the approach Burke will take. But he does have a track record of those kinds of moves. As others have mentioned, there's no Pronger wanting out of Edmonton, or Niedermeyer who wants to play with his brother. If Burke wants a stud d-man, he'll probably have to draft him and wait 4-6 seasons for him to develop.
