Burke sets the long term goals for this team. We know that. But the GM needs to know when to step in and say something when your team is about to draft Michael McCarron over somebody like Shea Theodore or Adam Erne. Some picks you know are bad from the outset... that doesn't mean you follow through and make a poor draft selection for the sake of following your "strategy".
If all our new GM does is follow the "to-do" list Burke writes out every morning, then we are in trouble. It's as simple as that.

Of course they shouldn't agree on everything, but if you look at what Burke is looking for, then your concerns are unfounded.
You keep bringing up drafting, and Burke has explicitly said he is looking for someone with high draft credentials. He is specifically looking for someone that will fill in the areas where he is not as proficient.
Either way, your concerns are unfounded. If Burke was the GM, we wouldn't be in trouble, so Burke hiring a guy to follow orders and bring his own talents to the table doesn't qualify us as being "in trouble".
