It's not "semantics". As I understand things—based on the information that has been published, Burke intends to oversee the implementation of a vision for the long-term future of the hockey team. He intends to hire a competent and qualified General Manager, and an AGM to take that vision, and to fill it and administer it by way of player and personnel acquisitions and management.
I'm not presenting it in any light. Your reading a connotation that wasn't intended. I'm simply saying that as a group making decisions, what difference is there whether we call one a GM or AGM? Burke could hand out areas of responsibility the same either way
