Agree with those saying Burke's comments on reputation are full of crap. There is no logic or proof to it.
You could just as easily claim something like this will give the team the reputation of being hard to deal with and reduce teams that come around next trade deadline for example. It's grasping at straws to rationalize a dumb move.
Even a 4th would have been better than losing him for nothing and clogging up a roster spot a young guy should be trialling in for the last 20.
