Regarding Burke's GM search, is that really happening at this point? How much longer are we supposed to be believe that? It's OK Burke, you're the GM. Stop insulting our intelligence.
I algo agree with Conroy regarding Draisaitl. I'd be absolutely thrilled if he landed at #4 -- the kid is a beast. I'd be happy with Bennett, too, but I'd give Draisaitl the edge.

Why on earth would you for a second think Burke isn't going to hire a GM when the organization has given him permission to do so? There is 0 reason if that's the case for him not too. You're insulting your own intelligence by thinking he wouldn't.
Burke: "So, you're telling me I can go out, hire someone, who can take care of all the things I don't want to do or don't have time to do, and I still get to be the boss, and have final say on everything that happens in relation to hockey with this club and decide what direction this it takes"
King: "Yup that's right"
Burke: "So it's totally going allow me to free up time and either work less hard, for the same pay, or focus more on things that I'm really interested in?"
King: "Of course"
Burke: "You know what..............I'll pass".
How does that ever happen? You get that new GM isn't going to be Burke's boss right, it's the other way around.
