A few quick points from Burke during the session:
- Believes that Tkachuk, Dubois and Joelevi are the second ledge of 4-6
- Was relieved they didn't fall out of the top six as they are confident in the top 6
- Saw Nylander recently and believes he will be better than his older brother
- Likes the big kid Brown, but he doesn't play a black and blue type of hockey
- Thinks that Brown and Nylander will be in the gap for the Flames and therefore not relevant
- Deflected a question about the other ledges in the draft and instead praised Treliving's ability to package draft picks (as he did for Hamilton)
- Thinks that Kyllington is a phenomenal skater and will play in the NHL in the not-too-distant future
- Ironed out some attitude and preparation issues with Andersson this year and he also believes that he will play in the NHL in the not-too-distant future
- Figures 4-5 Flames will participate in the WHC.
