I would say he's a typical Burke player. IMO the biggest reason Burke grabbed him is so that his old buddy Carlyle in Anaheim couldn't. I don't think Calgary really needs him.
Desperate would be overpaying on Kane...Desperate move by a desperate team
You're dreaming if you think that Burke doesn't pull the strings in Calgary!
Hey....pull down your pants and slide on the ice.LOL
So why does Burke, Treliving, King etc. say that isn't true?
Why do they have to lie about it? If they wanted Burke to be the GM and make all the decisions why not do that?
Your theory makes zero sense and involves a lot of unnecessary lying, Treliving allowing Burke to makes moves in his name for seemingly zero benefit and a whole lot of cloak and dagger for nothing?
If this is the case how come it has never come out other than bitter fans of other teams (usually TO)? Wouldn't at some point a report come out that Burke is the guy teams have to talk to when making deals instead of all the reports of Treliving being a guy that works hard and is always working the phones and in on a lot of things?
I agree with you....it means nothing.Cool, so the "full autonomy" clause means nothing in Treliving's contract.
Unrelated but I'd love to hear your views on the shape of Earth, vapour trails, 9/11, and evolution sometime.

First of all I've never said that I disagreed with the Flames picking up Stewart. I stated on another post that if Ryan Reaves can be in the NHL so can Chris Stewart. I've never claimed that Burke makes ALL of the decisions but this pickup is something that would have his fingerprints all over it. This is the type of player he loves. He and Carlyle nearly ruined the Leafs with these type of players. Good luck!
That’s cute, coming from a Habs fan.Desperate move by a desperate team
In B4 the start of Stewart's scoring streak. If nothing else, Johnny Hockey will have some serious backup next time someone tries to hammer him.
It was just an experiment. He did a couple of nice plays, but for the most part he wasn't as effective. Better off putting Bennett there for now when Ferland returns, and try to have ourselves a 3rd line of Ferland - Jankowski - Stewart.How did he look last night with Johnny and Monahan?
See he only played 13 minutes - was he at least noticeable or will he and Bennett just keep the spot warm until Ferland returns?

Is Stewart worth breaking up the Bennett-Jankowski-Hathaway line?
Bennett has done absolutely nothing this season to deserve first line time
Wait, you think the Sharks overpaid for Kane?Desperate would be overpaying on Kane...
Not sure what you are trying to get at? Flames are fighting for a playoff spot.

He already had that with Ferland / Bennett
