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.

Disagree. Having an interim GM making trades without a long-term commitment to the franchis is much worse.
Why did this move have to be made now? What doe this move offer us exactly? Size? What's the point in haing size without any skill? What was the point of the McDermid acquisition? Are we just collecting pluggers with size? Why not just call-up a guy like Ferland?
