Hiring a rookie GM and having him go make trades without sufficient time to analyze the team is plain silly. Burke was hired and did his due dilligence on Feaster/Weisbroad and came to the conclusion they had to go. I feel better with Burke making te trades this deadline than keeping those 2 and firing them in the summer.

Vision schmision, I will reserve judgement until we see something change on the ice. Feaster had that same vision before he was fired (before and after Burke). Flames are still small.
Burke is creating an issue out of the fact Flames are a small team, no debate there. Now let's see him do something about it.
Right now he seems to be prepping the fan base for something they might not like: seeding the Flames/Hit Man sound bite last week and working it in public. Drawing attention to the size of the Flames players. Maybe a fan favorite is being moved soon. Who knows?
So, maybe Burke will come through. For now I don't know that Burke has really done anything to ingratiate himself to the fan base. He is just another fast talking lawyer with better media manipulation skills than Feaster.
I am not condemning him, nor am I praising him. I just want to see him do something that moves the team forward.
