S. and Canada PITTSBURGH— Take a look at Dave Burrows record and you’d never know why the Penguins dratted him from Chicago. Take a look at Burrows on the ice and you’d soon forget he’s there. The Penguin front office is unamimous in its opinion of the 23-year-old rookie defenseman. “He’s not flashy or colorful,” said Executive Director Jack Riley. “The guy is non-descriptive,” said assistant general manager Jack Button, who first put the Penguins on to Burrows.
