I think he also did the 2009-2012 drafts for the stars so he drafted Chiasson, Reilly Smith, Scott Glennie (ouch), Jack Campbell, Oleksiak etc.
Sure Tippet is a good coach but he's never won anything at the NHL level and his teams are excruciatingly boring,leaving zero entertainment value.

I think Burke would be okay with Nieuwendyks choice of Crawford over Tippet. crawford'steams are at least fun to watch and he's actually won a cup at the NHL level.
