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?
ROFL.

Picking high draft picks is brainless. Also, are you saying that Burke does in fact have influence, because he had a say on picking Tkachuk? Hey a broken clock is right twice a day.

What's undue influence? I would expect the POHO to have influence.

Like, what do you think he does all day?

Let me put it to you another way: I wouldn't be surprised if Burke interjects. The other choice is that Treliving just isn't that bright. Either scenario doesn't help the team.
