Burke is a proud man and much like Darryl Sutter you will never get him to admit a mistake so take anything he says regarding Kessel with a grain of salt. If Kessel was the player Burke hoped he would be chances are he's still a Leafs employee. He essentially gave up Seguin and Hamilton for him and tell me those two players wouldn't look good right now in a Leafs uniform. Bad trade which ultimately led to his firing much like the Phaneuf deal led to Darryl Sutter's demise.
