Here's also what he reported:
"The unlikely name to be floating around the Buffalo Sabres vacancies: Brian Burke.
Word is that now that Burke is essentially in Cleveland Mark Shapiro-land — which means in hockey, but not really making key decisions in the hockey department with the Flames — he would prefer to return to a franchise which needs a more hands-on approach.
And the Buffalo situation might be perfect for him because Buffalo could use a front-man with the kind of noise and presence Burke brings.
Burke has been somewhat out of the mainstream with the Flames, with general manager Brad Treliving essentially running the hockey club. But after running his own show in Toronto, Anaheim and Vancouver, and before that in Hartford, he would prefer a return to the mainstream.
Geographically, Buffalo also works for Burke because of the proximity to Toronto, where his daughters live. It isn’t known what the Pegulas, owners of the Sabres, think of Burke, who has gotten out of contracts before to change teams....."
