Brian Burke, on the Kings

Thanks to J.P. Hoornstra, our Ducks beat writer, for passing these along. Ducks GM Brian Burke had a conference call this morning and had the following to say about Kings-related draft topics…

On Doughty vs. Bogosian:
“More guys would say that Doughty’s ready to play right now. Bogosian’s got more upside, but he hasn’t become the player he’s going to be and Doughty has. He’s ready to play.”

On who Kings will pick:
“I don’t want to speak for Dean (Lombardi), he’s one of my best friends, but that’s certainly the betting money here in Ottawa, is that Doughty’s going two.”

On if Kings will trade:
“I’ve talked to Dean, he’s told me they’re picking (at 2). (Atlanta at) three, they’re picking. (St. Louis at) four, they’re picking unless someone blows them out of the water. I don’t sense they’re urgent to move. I’d be very happy if I got to go up a pick.”
