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.

You think that Burke's talk about wanting big and tough teams is just talk? Even though all the teams he has built in the past are all big and tough?
He's nothing like Feaster. Feaster had no clue and was taking his blueprint from up north. It was clear to anyone that he wanted a team of small skill guys and it was only after last year when he realized how weak that was that he changed his tune and wanted to get bigger.
Of all the things to worry about Burke, you don't have to worry about how serious he is about wanting the team bigger and tougher.
