This is my fear as well. I think Burke brings a lot of the great leadership qualities to the organization that Sutter brought, but he also scares me in that he seems very stubborn about what he wants and won't think outside that box.

Also, I don't know why he'd be calling out Backlund's skating when the kid is playing the best hockey of his career.

Burke knows best (I hope).
