It seems like the Flames/Francis read CP quite regularly. A couple days after the "tired of nothing happening" thread is made this article comes out. Not much is happening but Burke is working really hard and is really upset with the team. It makes sense since this community is the online pulse of the fan base.
This certainly has been a really difficult part of the season and we all are excited to see the first vet shipped out. To me this article buys a little more time as I do not see the Flames making a move until shortly before the Olympic break at the earliest.
I fully expect the new GM to be hired shortly after the draft and have no problem with Burke driving the bus until then. Better him than a guy like Shannahan
