I don't think there is anyone on here who thinks Burke has no say on what's going on with the team but some on here make it sound like Burke has the final say on everything that happens and Treliving is just a puppet. I don't think that's how things work by the sounds of things. I'm sure Burke has a great amount of influence on what happens with the team but if he liked Kessel and Treliving, Conroy and the owners all didn't like him, the issue would be resolved.

I don't think one person runs any team; the president, GM, owners and the rest of the management group all have a say on what happens....that may not be the case with the oilers though but I digress.

I think the Flames should explore every trade opportunity and that's what makes a management team successful. If they didn't talk about possible options to benefit the team, they wouldn't be doing their jobs. I doubt the Kessel conversation is long but I agree and think they'll at least talk about it but doubt anything comes of it.
