As for your other part, I'm not sure what Burke had to do with Brodie, Giordano, Monahan, Gaudreau, Hudler, Backlund, Ramo, Hartley, Bouma, etc. I do give Burke full credit for hiring Treliving and for getting a 2nd for Berra.
Either way, it was a tongue in cheek comment. Burke is Treliving's boss. Treliving does not have any influence over Burke's place in the organizaton.

Fair enough, just curious mostly. I'm sure Burke would be the first to tell you he didnt build the team that made the playoffs last year and would give Feaster and Co. a lot of credit from the guys they brought it. I just think Burkes best moves so far are the moves he didn't make, i.e getting rid of Hartley or trading away guys like Gio or Backlund and I agree with a lot of his off ice philosophies like being a leader in the community
