In my opinion it was an answer with an agenda and as I suggested in my original post the agenda was aimed at Feaster...

Speaking about learning to play 3 zones, how is that going for some of the players Burkey drafted or traded for in Toronto?

There was little upside to his comments and more downside and for as much many Canuck fans disliked Gillis at least he had the common sense to keep his true feelings for his problem child Cody Hodgson out of the public domain until after he was dealt....

IMO, if all it takes to unhinge Baertschi's game is a few comments like that, then it shows he's got a pretty weak mental game. Sure, you can say he's young, but eventually he should have learned to adapt, and not continue to wallow in self pity. Get upset, and prove Burke wrong. Don't confirm it by sucking.
