^So lets say the Canucks win the cup this year. Will Gillis get the same type of credit Burke got when he won the Cup in Anahiem? When Gillis took over he inherited alot of the pieces Nonis/Burke made before they left. Daniel/Henrik Sedin, Kesler, Burrows, Bieksa, Edler, Luongo.

Burke did great things for the Canucks. Then he went to Anahiem and won a cup there and thats a fact. He went to Toronto and made alot of big moves there. Took big gambles that somewat paid off, but the majority of them failed. The next person to come in after Burke will have alot of talent to work with so they dont have to necessarily start from scratch.

I defend Burke because some of u guys seem to think that all he did in this league was revive the Canucks and fluked out by taking the Ducks to there first Stanley Cup
