"It's a balance game," Burke commented, talking about the mix of winning games and being liked by the people. "Some folks managed this better than I did. Signing a top-tier free agent can quickly make you a fan favourite. That's a move Treliving might want to consider to get into the good books. But PR isn't everything. Making sound decisions while maintaining a positive public image is a simple yet effective way to start strong."
"He has to talk to Auston Matthews as soon as possible. The coach, Sheldon Keefe, can wait a bit. Keefe's doing well, he might stay or he might not. But Treliving can tell Sheldon to wait until the draft is over."
"Dealing with William Nylander, who might not be able to be traded easily, is another big task for Treliving. Burke believes that Nylander can handle this change well."
