San Jose Sharks Promote Tim Burke To Assistant GM

July 7, 2018 at 8:02 pm CDT | by Zach Leach 2 Comments

The San Jose Sharks announced changes to their front office today with several moves coming in their scouting department. Highlighting these changes was the promotion of Tim Burke to Assistant General Manager. Burke joins long-time Assistant GM Joe Will working under GM Doug Wilson. It is a well-earned recognition for Burke, who has spent the past 20 years with the franchise.

Burke had previously served as the team’s Director of Scouting prior to his new promotion. As the Sharks pointed out in their press release, the team has owned the lowest average draft slot in the league over the past 15 years, but Burke and his staff have managed to uncover gems like Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture, and Marc-Edouard Vlasic. Burke’s primary responsibility will continue to be evaluating amateur talent and orchestrating the draft for the Sharks, but he will also take a larger role in the evaluation of professional talent at all levels as well.

Replacing Burke as Director of Scouting is none other than Doug Wilson Jr., the GM’s son. Wilson Jr. is entering his seventh season with the team, most recently as the Sharks’ Director of Hockey Operations, and will continue his previous duties relating to the NHL Draft. Working with Burke, Wilson Jr. will hope to continue San Jose’s success of finding strong players in both the draft and undrafted free agency.

    Somewhat unrelated but they should have kept Mike Hoffman

      That was before tavares though. They traded for Hoffman to move out boedker’s contract then traded Hoffman to free up enough space for Tavares and wherever else they had planned for the offseason. They might have kept him if they had known they weren’t going to get Tavares but at the time they had to operate as if tavares would be signing with them as that was plan a.
