I think maximizing trade value all comes down to finding the right fit. And not having Jay Feaster as a GM. Burke has been good at both of those things. Kaberle was a difficult fit, but he was eventually able to find one and absolutely fleeced the other team. And on the second count when he found himself with a GM who literally WAS Jay Feaster, he was quickly able to change that into a situation where he did not have Jay Feaster as a GM.
So he appears to have a solid grasp of the fundamentals.
