I dont know where people are getting the word skill from. He mentioned Draisatl as someone with size and grit. Not size and skill

The new GM, whoever it is will be a puppet. Make no mistake, Burke is running this team.

Well, he didn't trash the kid on the radio, but he didn't know his name and Steinberg had to say it. Probably doesn't want to cross that bridge on the radio when he knows that Lowe is listening.

He said "Reinhart has skill and grit, Bennett has skill and grit, Draisatl...however you pronounce his name - he's got size and grit."

Of course he is, that's what he was hired to do, he's the "President of Hockey Operations" his job is literally to run this team.

Doesn't mean the incoming GM is a puppet, but it does mean the buck doesn't stop at that person.

Either way, this just tells us that Draisaitl can now be possibly in the mix at #4 now that we can safely say Burke doesn't mind him.

The GM wont be a puppet. But I could see it being someone younger with less experience who leans on Burkes experience.

Maybe his scouts had a word with him on what they maybe see there?

I just hope the GM is not from Toronto. Fingers crossed.

Lol Burke's seems to reflect CP's thoughts exactly. This is great.

Makes armchair GMing more interesting.
