If anything, Feaster is an even bigger blowhard than Burke, it's just that Feaster has a big self-satisfied grin when he does it, and Burke has a big scowl.

I actually kinda liked Sutters interviews too, but that's not what I'm talking about.
Feaster is surprisingly well liked under the circumstances IMO (no playoffs for years, stars leaving town, off-season acquisitions being mostly meh or busts. This says to me he's done a good job of handling the media.
But more importantly, there's been IMO a clear increase in human interest and behind-the-scenes stuff, a lot of success at selling the prospects to the fans and following their progress, that kind of stuff.
Should Burke be hired, he would do his own talking as always and propably get under the skin of some reporters as always. But with Feaster on board I think Burke wouldn't be the public face of the Flames organization as much as many GM's are, and I think that can only be a good thing.
