Burke and Hextall have complementary skill sets
- Kevin Allen

How do they fit the pens identity? What is there identity? Understand the Pens history, lol.

Ronald Hextall made the Flyers one of the easiest team to play against. He ripped out the soul of the Flyers. Did a terrible job at the NHL level.

Kevin, do you think he will get another assistant to spy on on his coach and report back to him?

I have a feeling this will either go very well. Or very bad. I think Hexy is a very good GM. I just don't get why the Pens felt the need to add Burke. I understand it's becoming more popular for teams to hire a director of hockey operations for off ice stuff so the GM can focus on the on ice product. It just seems like an odd couple to me. Hexy must be Felix because he once fought Felix Potvin. I guess this makes Burkey Oscar.

He (Burke)
explained it very well yesterday. Take the heat off Hextall, speaking engagements, community events even some scouting.
