I think it's much more that when Burke was hiring a GM he looked for someone who (among other qualities) had similar thoughts about the efficacy of size and toughness in the NHL, but not identical thoughts.

I think that's much more likely the explanation of Trelevings decisions than that there is some mandate from Burke that we meet some sort of big guy quota.
