Brian Burke said his mindset is to pick not trade the #Flames fourth overall pick but that could change with the hiring of a new GM

Kristen Odland @KristenOdlandCH
Burke also said he likely won't trade up. Thinks at 4th, they'll get a pretty good player. Wasn't the case in Van: "The year I dealt for..."

Kristen Odland @KristenOdlandCH
Burke cont... "(Sedin) twins, I didn’t like that draft group at all." Thought they were the only 2 w/a chance to be impact players.

Kristen Odland @KristenOdlandCH
Burke on identifying needs: "We need skaters, we need forwards, we need defencemen." Doesn't see draft as a place where you pick by position

Kristen Odland @KristenOdlandCH
Burke said that he's seen all the top-end talent this year but Sam Bennett, ranked No. 4 in the ISS rankings, because he was suspended.

Kristen Odland @KristenOdlandCH
"Which, in Brian Burke's books, is not a bad thing."
