With at least 3 teams looking for a GM Burke is going to have to do a really good sell job if he wants the right candidate. Does it put us at a disadvantage having someone as controlling as Burke, as president of Hockey operations, compared to teams where a new GM may have more of a free reign??

It depends on the candidate. Not every candidate will be as keen on the Flames' organisational structure, but by the same token, those are likely not the sorts of people that Burke will be targeting in the first place. With more and more teams moving towards this kind of model, I expect that Burke's position is not much of a determent to finding and hiring the best man for the job.
