Well then you're out to lunch. Brian Burke, for better or worse, is one of the league's most stubborn GMs when it comes to admitting he's wrong. When you spend 2 years publically beradign Kevin Lowe for grossly overpaying Dustin Penner, you're not going to trade for Penner under that same contract. If Burke hadn't been through the whole ordeal with Penner / Lowe, then I'm sure he'd give Penner that contract today, but this is one example where there's realistically no way Brian Burke willingly backs down from his position.
