There's being able to communicate issues in a mature manner, and then there's what Burke said. Would expect a bit more professionalism from a team President.

How so? How was anything he said just "being a dick"?
Everything he said was a direct, honest, and simple evaluation of the player, not the person. Everything was also countered with some of the good parts about that player.
I think people need to get over their sensitivities to honesty. That's not a CP problem, that's a whole world problem.
If he says "well his game might not translate to a top 6 role on the big stage" then that doesn't really help Ryan does it? Commenting directly on his intensity DOES help.
The whole "should've taken Jack Johnson" thing? That's just honesty, there's nothing mean spirited about it.
