What terrifies me is when I heard Burke say at his press conference when he got hired that he is looking to change the scouting department. I hope he comes in and isn't a 'bully'. I hope he listens to what Todd Button has to say, and just adds to the scouting team.

Good points. I mentioned this in another thread, but Burke has always brought in his own guys, but to the best of my knowledge, he's never fired anyone from the management team he inherited or his head/chief scout. This is really the first time Burke came in cleaned house like that. Because of this it's kind of hard to predict whether Button would be fired. History suggest Button will keep his job, but Burke might have other plans for his current NHL stop.
