He either:
a) had it prepared knowing someone would ask that question. I mean, really, he's the best prospect we have.

Or

b) said it off the cuff

Either way, not professional IMO

Burke and Sven are both very well paid. Part of that pay is because they work in an industry where there preformance gets evaluated and discussed in public with the media. Burke and others have to make public statements about performance, and have the public make comments and ask questions about theres. Sven has to accept his bosses might make comments about his performance publicly and answer questions to the media about it as well.

It is absolutely and completely a regular part of doing business in the NHL and has been for years, therefore, nothing un-professional about it what so ever.

You don't know that. Burke is a great hockey mind, as he has proven.

Sven is a rookie who has not shown anything or proven anything. I don't see it. I like Monahan more and see more potential with him. Seems like he wants to prove himself.

I will disagree with you.

I like the idea of all three being with the Flames for a long time.
