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."

Brian Burke to CGY rumors surfaced in June, Burke shot them down quickly. He was there to see his daughter, who lives there now.

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"
