The Ducks have named Brian Burke to a part-time professional scouting position within the organization.
“We are happy to welcome Brian back to the organization,” said Ducks Executive Vice President/General Manager Bob Murray. “Anytime you can add a person of his quality to your staff, it makes your organization better. We’ve had success working together before and look forward to doing it again.”

Oh, I think he'll find a way to get his quotes out there still.Am I the only one that wishes he was in our PR department as opposed to our scouting staff?
Unless Madden and Murray are leaving, I don't think you have to worry about that.I really hope we continue drafting Swedes and Finns equally to NA players and dont resort back to the Gritty, North American ways of Burke, that essentially wasted 2 drafts.
But still, for all his faults, Burke is a quality asset in any management corps.
He isn't in charge of our draft. He isn't even in charge of our scouts.I hate this move, Burke's draft record is dismal.

Edit: he's a pro scout... Thank The Lord.

Australia is well known for it's fast internetMust have been less. When I was done typing, I opened the Ducks forum in a new tab to see whether I had been beaten, but wasn't, yet. So it was changing the tabs, hitting submit, and the time it took to submit.
