I am sure the excuse was first it was Darryl mess he was cleaning up, then Brent's fault for not playing the style he would. Well, now he's been on the job over two years and has his coach and results on the ice and with the things Feaster promised would change, haven't.
I think Burke or some other high profile guy in league circles will be the next GM, whenever that is. Guys that have proven they can back up their words and their ideas through making the changes when the time in the off season, and or midseason, calls for it. More of a do'er and less of a talker or media perception guy, as Feaster is leaning towards.

Of course he would (to both parts of the bold).
But that is precisely the point I was making before: I don't want yet another individual coming in and taking the team in yet another individual's direction.
I believe the organization needs to determine their own direction (a permanent stratey) and then begin the process of bringing in people that can execute it.
This: "okay, who wants to be in charge next? where would you take the team?" garbage has to stop.
If you hire Burke, it's going to be 'Burke's team' and that is precisely what I don't want (not just Burke, but the strategy in general)
