I remember Brian Burke telling me this about the Anaheim Ducks when he took over. voice-verified

He's like, look, we were not ready for Corey Perry and Ryan Getzloff. voice-verified

We had to shovel out the barn first. voice-verified

We had to get rid of guys. voice-verified

And he said, I told him when I sent them down, like, listen, we're not ready for you yet. voice-verified

We don't think this is a good environment for you. voice-verified

We need this room to be ready for you. voice-verified

And make no mistake about it, there's some really good players, young players. voice-verified

You guys already had a taste and saw a full eyeball of Braden Kutz. voice-verified

This guy's going to be a good player for a long time. voice-verified

Whomever Vancouver selects at third overall is going to be a good player for a long time for Vancouver. voice-verified

You need to make sure the room is ready. voice-verified

And I think that that's one thing I don't know that we discussed. voice-verified

As far as the semantics go of get off of and move this, I always, for first-time general managers, I cut the language a lot of slack. voice-verified

Because they're going to say a lot of things that someone that has 10 years in the industry just won't say because they understand the power of the language. voice-verified

and how it can be interpreted, especially in Canadian markets, where once upon a time you can talk casually and frivolously with a couple of reporters in the American Hockey League, and it doesn't resonate as much as it does with the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League. voice-verified

So I kind of write off the first season and say, there's going to be a couple of foul balls here. voice-verified

I try not to jump all over them too much. voice-verified

They intellectually know their words are going to get parsed. voice-verified

Because you're used to saying something for so long and no one ever saying, oh, I don't know, you should have said it that way. voice-verified
