Wouldn't that have come much later - 1997-98 - when Gretzky was deciding where to go after STL? He ended up on NYR.
Gretzky is talking about summer 1988. Was Burke with VCR in 1988? Wasn't he GM of the Whalers or working in NHL head office? (Or still getting his law degree?)
I had heard the "Dad advice" story before. A bit foolish not to take 25%, no?
Be worth about $250 mil today, no?
