Burke was on the morning show and the trade came up. He mentioned he takes no credit for the trade as it was done after he left. What he did mention is the organization was really high on Hanifin. Says Hamilton has better puck skills, but Hanifin is younger and really making strides.
Also mentioned that in his conversations with Fox's agent, he was told Fox would be a four year college player. So the risk of losing for nothing seems to have been established early on. Burke also doesn't think he will sign in Carolina. Reading between the lines it looks like to get him out of college early there will have to be an incentive (i.e. roster spot).
