He made a fool of himself and the organization with the way he handled the RoR offer sheet, what he said about Jankowski, and the Iginla trade. The Bouwmeester and Regehr deals were pretty bad. All the talk of intellectual honesty or threatening to sell at the deadline was nothing but talk. His refusal to eat salary in deals made little sense

Having said that he did plenty of good here. He really let the scouts drive to bus when it came to drafting. 2011 looks like a fantastic draft, 2013 was solid and 2012 has some potential.

He made some nice moves. The Cammy trade was great, Russell was a nice pickup, bringing Grats back was awesome. The Smid deal was very good. Colborne and Knight were nice pickups and the Erixon trade was a winner. His best move was brining in his old buddy Hartley to coach.

Burke has inherited a dream for any GM. A ton of cap space, a good coach with full team but in, a stud prospect, several other intriguing youngsters and no brutal contracts beyond 3 years. Burke gives credit to Feaster for these moves but Burke was right the team needed to make a change
