If he were to take on the position of President, I have no doubt he'd axe Feaster, but I don't think he'd take over GM duties himself. More likely, I think, we'd see him adopt a role similar to JD's in St. Louis now in Columbus: a President that has a heavy involvement in hockey operations, but is not the primary day-to-day hockey ops person. I would guess Burke would hire a guy he could work closely with in this kind of arrangement, i.e. one of the guys from the pretty formidable hockey ops staff he amassed in Toronto. Likely Dave Poulin or Claude Loiselle.
