Burke certainly isn't flawless, but let's give credit where credit is due.
He brought back Selanne, signed Scott Niedermayer, traded for Chris Pronger, and also brought in May, Beauchemin, Jackman, Moen, O'Donnell, Parros........all players who were part of the Cup winning team.
It's not like he inherited the team and didn't tinker with it. He made some pretty important moves that allowed them to win a championship.
