Brian Burke joining Calgary Flames as President of Hockey Operations
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=431209
Quote:
The Calgary Flames have called a news conference today where they are expected to introduce former Toronto Maple Leafs president and general manager Brian Burke as part of their front office.
"I don't intend to be the spokesperson for the team," Burke said at the team's introductory news conference. "I intend to have a background role. I'm not the general manager of the Calgary Flames. Jay Feaster is. It's my pleasure and honour to be able to work with him."

The man who pried Phaneuf away from Sutter's Flames, is apparently about to get on with the Flames..begin.
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 1h Last time Brian Burke to CGY rumors surfaced in June, Burke shot them down quickly. He was there to see his daughter, who lives there now.
Jeff Urkevich @jeffurkevich 28s REPORT: Brian Burke to join Calgary Flames as team president. #NHL
Update: Fan 960′s Josh Humphries reports that Burke is in town to participate in a charity event on Thursday. Is that all he’s in town for? We’ll see.
Conflicting reports so far. From speculation about numerous roles to silence amongst talkative "sources"

Dont think the rumor from Glenn Campbell makes this official yet, should still be a rumor IMO.

WTF, people always say "I literally spit out my drink" at a rumour/news" and I'm always like "Yeah, whatever, you probably just sat there straight faced like everyone does when they read message boards".
Then I read this, leaned forward and spit out a bit of my water.

"Bobo" Mckenzie tweeted
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 2h
This time, though, there's been no denial (to this point) and some people who would know if it's legit have clammed right up. Interesting.

IF this is true, don't expect formal announcement until Monday - Flames brass and about half of Calgary media in Penticton all weekend.
