Question about how this will change the rebuilding program that has already been under way.

-I don't think it makes a whole hell of a lot of difference
-I am not a patient person, I was born impatient I will die that way
-The rebuild can't come as fast as I would like it to come
-Trade freeze anyway

Yep. Just like he said he was stunned that Ryan was passed over by the Penguins and took Crosby.

Now speaking re: John Weisbrod. Did not interact a lot. Smart guy. But doesn't have a great relationship with him, like with Feaster.

I really hope his comments about size isn't an indirect valuation of Gaudreau's future.

“I was working for Anaheim at the time – I had no dog in this fight – and sitting upstairs watching, I think Calgary had the best draft,” Burke said

I like hostile hockey! Yeah bring on more speed, size and skills. I can see Johnny playing. Sven to me is soft.

Burke "We are to small"

Bye Sven and possible Johnny Hockey

And Burke has no patience... great...

And fired a guy who apparently he didn't even have a relationship with in Weisbrod

I just keep adding to this before I can post...

Maybe they discussed what the hell he was thinking with the Jankowski pick. I think that pick probably did him in for sure.

What are you looking to bring in for replacements?

-We have to replace 2 people, we are going to need expertise in terms of where we are going to pick in the draft
-We have to get these picks right
-The only rainbow on a tough year is to get those picks right
-You gotta hit a home run like Jay did with Monahan
-These two people will have to have expertise in that area

I like how much Burke is stressing homeruns and great drafting.
