I thought Berra was coming a lot nicely for the Flames and didn't hate him as much as most people. Not that I really minded the trade at the time. A 2nd rounder was and still is a decent return, so I can see why Burke took it. I am not surprised to see Berra coming around though and I think the hate was more a product of the instant gratification generation not wanting to see things through with a newly acquired, relatively young player that needed seasoning.
