The writing was on the wall when the hiring was made. Not dissimilar to when Feaster was appointed AGM and all the "second opinion" "sounding board" stuff was spouted when he was hired. It was obvious.
My guess is that he hires a first time GM, so Burke can take on a more authoritative and heads on roll and help the guy grow into the position. Jason Botterill would be excellent. He was originally a capologist, which is important for us if we're going to fill ours efficiently, and he's been apart of a winning organization down in Pittsburgh for the duration of his FO career.
