Brian Burke is the new President of Hockey Operations for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He’s been on the media circuit recently and been fairly candid about the state of his new team.
The Penguins new head man is pretty open about his theories on coming into a new team.”Get to know your team, and then do something special,” Burke told Daren Millard on The Chirp.
That “something special” was giving the Whalers a year before making a blockbuster to draft Chris Pronger, same in Vancouver to get the Sedin twins, followed by the trade to bring in Phil Kessel in Toronto.
