The fact that he has very little NHL experience would be mitigated by having Burke.

The only thing that I wouldn't like about the hiring is that he would no longer be with the Hitmen.
Yes. In fact, hell yes!

A few of us (me included) here on CP wanted Kisio hired back when Feaster was still the "interim" GM and King was conducting a "thorough search" for a full time GM. TBQH Kisio doesn't really seem like a Burke hire to me, so I would be fairly shocked if it happened, but would thoroughly support it.
