Burke would be ideal...and with his ego and personality, the only way he would come here would be if he was the one in total charge. This would work though only if having outside input of the owners only on the most high level of decisions, not the mish mash of cooks in the kitchen such as the Feaster/King/owners trifecta as it is now and has been for a while, certainly since Darryl left and probably in the last few years of Darryl's tenure.
That's part of the reason he probably won't be here, those guys now don't want to give up that power...it would take a big step for the owners to agree to this, give up the control they've taken back, and, the whole procedure have to be done as an end around past King's powers.

With the flames rebuilding and not having a face for the franchise, Burke with his ego and personality could have taken on that role, while the young kids just concentrated on hockey.
Thats if the flames rebuild.
