Evander Kane wanted out. So what. Evander Kane is kind of a dick, and based on the last five years, he's not nearly as good as he thinks he is. Winnipeg got Tyler Myers for someone who scored 30 goals five years ago.
Burmistrov wanted out. Burmistrov came back because Winnipeg is still better than wherever Ak Bars Kazan is, and has still never scored 30 points in the NHL.
Winnipeg's not for everyone. Guys are allowed to demand trades. Selanne would've played his entire career there.

Then don't sign Kane to a huge contract and get rid of him before he causes more problems in the dressing room. Don't bring burmistrov back if he's going to bail on the team. Two bad Errors of judgment. There's a pattern developing and will continue unless they bring someone capable in. Hiring your buddy as assistant gm is good for job security but bad for the organization.
Check his front office experience on Wikipedia. Hardly inspiring.
