I would say it is much worse for the team to be in a holding pattern while waiting for a new GM. Burke is President of Hockey Ops so he will have a role in roster decisions with the team. It isn't like this is Ken King business exec making a move.
Having the team involved in nothing at all right now or rushing to fill the position would be much more harmful than Burke and the other hockey guys here making a minor deal.
He definitely should not be hands off as far as trades go right now.
