As pointed out, Burke didn't make this trade. The big thing that gives you away is that no Flames fan would/should ever really want to take that trade back. Trading away sven got the Flames a valuable second round pick, you could say that pick was used to either draft one of the 2 good young defenders in the Flames system in Kylington or Andersson or to complete the trade for Hamilton. Sure, sven may have had a mini come back with the nucks but he's still nothing close to what this team needs and has no real place on this team.
The fact that you wish the Flames didn't make such a beneficial trade, the fact that you didn't know who the GM who made said trade was or that you've posted quite a few questionable (to say the least) posts really gives you away as a troll. In some cases like this one, I think trolls do the opposite of what they initially wanted to do. Saying such blatantly obvious remarks actually bring most of the community together to agree on a bunch of posts. But who really knows what the intentions of some are or what goes through their heads when making some of these posts.
As for trades, at this point trading for Loui since he's going to be a UFA and could just walk for nothing. Secondly I don't think he's the kind of player this team needs. He does check a couple of boxes but his injury history comes into question especially if he were to play in the bigger, tougher west. The only trades the Flames should be looking at are to either move up to the top few draft positions or down to acquire more assets, pick up either a proven goalie or really good young goalie with tons of potential or for a younger, bigger scoring RW that they could keep under contract for a while.
