Best thing that happened to both players happened when Burke was no longer in charge of their future. Again only time will tell, Burke will have his players good or bad and those will be the ones he goes with.

Steen was traded to St Louis on November 24, 2008. Burke was hired by the Leafs on November 29, 2008.
If Kadri isn't his type of player, why did he draft him? Hell, he even had an offer on the table at the draft from Ottawa to trade down two spots, but the Sens said they were going to pick Kadri, so Burke didn't make the deal.
