Byron is not "skilled", he's an energy bottom 6er.
Ward is not a goon, he's a top line power forward.
The problem is that Burke keys in on problems that are minor at worst and turns away from the self-inflicted problems like Engelland, Bollig, Colborne, and Smid (all post-Burke acquisitions) being unable to possess the puck. Which, last I checked, hurt our team a lot more last year than Byron or Backlund not being 6'2"
