Seems to me it was more about Feaster than it was about the player...
From the interviews I've seen, Sven has been very professional when asked about the situation in Calgary and feels that Vancouver's puck possession style of play is more suited to his game than the north/south dump and chase game the Flames play...
Back to Burkey, you'd think after all of these years he'd have purchased a filter and learned to keep issues within the organization and regarding draft picks he might be wise to take a moment and look over his draft record while in his previous stops and show the humility that his record demands....

Wasn't Burke's first task to assess the organization? Everyone knows what Burke is like and how he operates. That is probably the biggest reason ownership brought him in. Why would he keep his opinions to himself? That gets you now where in life. It doesn't matter what Sven says now because players will always say positive things about their new home. They have to not only to get along with your new team but also prepare mentally. No one starts a new job thinking it's going it's going to suck and have success. There is a thread about player interviews and how coached they are so anything said is just that, coached.
