I'm not skeptical about Burke so much as I look at the history of major trades in the past few years and don't see much in terms of legitimate returns. Phaneuf, Regehr, Iginla, Bouwmeester all gone. Look at what we have in return for those 4 assets. I understand what the situation is with Burke, his history and all just don't have a good feeling about the way things are headed. If the 4 key ufa's coming up gets nobody usable in the NHL we are really screwed. This isn't to say things won't turn around, but there has been some bad asset management for a long time and we really need to win a few trades to stop sliding. Going to be tough to develop a group of complete prospects.
