Is Burke suggesting that Bollig get more playing time? Outside of Derek Engl, Bollig and Ferland we don't have too much toughness so I could only draw the conclusion that he wanted more of Bollig since he sat for a good chunk of the year. Is this really part of the strategy to get us to the promised land??


Just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on Burke's interview
This is not what I got out of it. He did mention issues with player management but separately mentioned needing to be a heavier style of team.

That being said I didn't like how much he regurgitated wanting to be a heavier team. You need a mix of skill and size and he seemed to have tunnel vision on the size aspect. I think Treliving is more balanced - at least in his interviews.
