He also took part in the Sabres Rookie Development camp in the spring before spending the entire summer in Buffalo.

The Edmonton, product finished third in Western Hockey League scoring in 2015-2016 registering 109 points (27g-82a) and a plus-36 rating. Burke took part in the Flames Development camp in the spring and will attend the Young Stars prospect tournament in Penticton with Calgary.
