The makers of NHL 17 are putting Brian Burke's tongue-in-cheek trade comments to the test.
EA Sports had some fun with the remarks made Wednesday by the Calgary Flames president of hockey operations, who dismissed rumors of defenseman Dougie Hamilton's availability and said the only way a trade will happen is if a team offers Calgary 20 first-round picks.

We doubt Arizona Coyotes general manager John Chayka would mortgage his future to that extent, but hey, it's a video game.
