You do realize that today - or the draft - is probably Brian Burke's last go-around as a guy who negotiates NHL trades, right? "Burke's reputation as a tough negotiator" is a might thin straw to be grasping at.
A rebuild is about turning declining assets into appreciating assets. Burke failed at it today. Pretty simple.
