McPhee makes way more sense landing in Vancouver than in Calgary. He's got experience and reputation, so would be a nice compliment to Linden's learning on the job.
GMGM and Burke might be chums, but they're probably also aware of the risks involved in putting two old hands, used to running their own shows, into our new management structure. It'd be a power struggle waiting to happen. I think Burke knows this, which is why he's been telling anyone who will listen that he's interested in bringing in a young guy.
If I'm Washington, Trotz makes a ton of sense.
