I'm not saying that people shouldn't wash their hands of Brian Burke. I'm saying that you can't complain about him being the face of YCP. YCP is what it is, because he is the face of it.
What hockey really needs are guys like JT Brown in positions like Brian Burke's. But that's a pipe dream at this point.
Yes, that's what I meant by my last line. Although, I agree it's a long way off before a person of color becomes a GM or HC in the NHL. But I do still hope that some of the older players who have gone on to other roles are making those phone calls behind-the-scenes to their former teammates and billets and co-workers.
