Burke was talking about how in Toronto he drafted with an Ontario flavour on purpose.. I am having trouble remembering time lines but Burke was around when the Flames went after all those Alberta boys last summer correct?

Pretty straight forward interview but always interesting to listen to Burke. He is so candid, I love it.

The mission is to win as many games as possible, that will never change, if they ever tried to tank Hartley would want to fight him.. thinks that Hartley deserves recognition for the work ethic and system he has got this team to buy into.

They talked a lot about his Toronto days obviously being on Toronto radio, but basically said if he could do the Kessell deal again today he would. He thinks it was a trade that benefited both teams immensely. I might have to agree with him there, Kessell has been an absolute beast this year and Boston has also done really well with the players they got.
