I find the empathy comment reassuring. It indicates that they're being guided by a framework by which to evaluate player psychology. I'm certain that there is research that looks into psychological traits of elite athletes, I'm sure that people have started to give prospects scientific evaluations that even measure their empathy levels or whatever. The fact that Burke has a list of criteria of what he's looking for signals to me that the Flames are actually being scientific about this. That's a very good thing.
