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.

If this is true and he was hired in the next week, I could see him being interm GM for the rest of the season. I would love for Burke to be handling the trades if the flames are sellers. He could hire "his guy" as gm, in the summer.
