Agreed. With the hiring, we get a glimpse into Burke's process'. Assumptions that some had going into the season:
-Burke is a control freak
-Burke overvalues truculence
-Burke is far more traditionalist than progressive
-Burke will surround himself with his buddies, turning Calgary into Toronto West
I think that these have been debunked throughout the year, and this decision solidifies that. His actions this year seem to be pretty damn measured, and it leads me to believe that his process' are ridiculously methodical. Once the management team is assembled, it would not surprise me that we learn that he is anything but a control freak, and he wants strong voices in a room, and that he wants push and pull, and collaboration between people who know what the hell they are talking about.
Would love to hear Kisio be named AGM, but I imagine Treliving will have input there. Great news regardless though!
