Burke is on 31 Thoughts.
Some quotes. This is Hexy’s team. I’m here to take off whatever he wants off his plate. But this is Hexy’s team.
Ron Hextall has the final authority on hockey operations. “Don’t think of it as veto power, think of it as a business partner”.
My goal is giving Hextall autonomy. The owner
has final say. The only deal I’ve had ended was Bobby Ryan for Keith Tkachuk.
Hextall is really bright. You can be a great goaltender and not know a thing about the game.
Drafting in Philly did a great job. I think Penguins need to be patient or impatient regarding what the state of their team is.
GMs are always better the second time around. And Hextall has benefited by that experience.
Never had a better player than Crosby. Let’s see what this team can do and then we will see in the off season if they can’t get to the playoffs.
Not trying to be dramatic. Never looked at a hill and said it is too high when it comes to a team.
I got special players, a coach and a GM I trust, who knows how good this team is if we get healthy.
so we just trust they’re going to make the POs with the current goalies and coaching staff (we won’t help them in any fashion) and then we’ll trust blow it all up our way this summer when it inevitably fails...? Doesn’t sound right
