Say, who re-upped Stajan anyhow?
And although people seem to be amused by Burke's dishevelled appearance, I see it as a sign of ill mental health.

Yes, Burke re-upped Stajan. When he was the acting GM. Four years ago. And he won't be coming back after his contract expires. So, again, you are, like Ashasx, trying to argue undue influence in 2018 based on moves made in 2014.
Lazar is fast and not all that truculent. Not exactly a Burke type.
Stewart, Glass, Bartkowski basically don't play.
And your opinion of Burke's alleged mental health issues are not relevant to the argument.
Neither of you has offered a significant challenge to my point: If Burke had undue influence over roster construction, you wouldn't be trying to pin your argument on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th guys on the roster.
Also, you'd probably want to add Matt Tkachuk to your list. Except he's good, so that doesn't fit your narrative. Does it?
