Brian Burke takes no prisoners. 

When Pavel asked to leave Vancouver – when Burke was the ‘nucks’ GM – he said:

“We’re not going to kiss anyone’s butt to play here. We have a beautiful arena, our own plane, and, again a great hockey market and one of the best cities in the world, so I’m not kissing anyone’s behind to play here, that’s just not going to happen. He wants out, I’m going to move him.”

Burke hasn’t mellowed with age.

He would not only carry Heatley’s suitcases to the airport, but would deposit them in his butt first.
