And of course Theo Fleury.
Also to reiterate, I think he just wants a little more grit sprinkled throughout the lineup, not at every position. Think of how nice it would be to have someone like Ferland patrolling a line with Sven and Monahan. Someone who can do the dirty work, but still has enough skill to not look out of place (hopefully he continues to develop into this type of player).
West Coast Express: Bertuzzi 6'3" 215lb - BMo 5'11" 185lb - Naslund 5'11 195lb
I really don't think we're heading back to Sutter like drafting of Pelech, Negrin, Chucko, etc. Burke just thinks we could be a little harder to play against and he is completely right in that assessment.
