Asking the VP of Hockey Operations about the signing of, and playing of a #7 dman just makes no sense.
You would want to focus on the broader, more impactful items that are affecting the hockey team's performance.
And yes, there is an element of keeping a good relationship in place so you can talk to him again. But from what I understand, this wasn't a softball interview.
They didn't ask about Grossman, because despite all the discussion about him on here, he simply doesn't matter enough either way.

The play of the D-corps on this team is impactful, not just Grossman per se.
I still don't get the scope of questions that would be appropriate for Burke.
I think that Burke should expect tough/direct questions when he comes on after the last two games by the team. I get that all this isn't on Grossman (sadly, cuz that would be an easy fix), but I think all questions should be on the table for Burke to deal with both macro & micro.
