Will be interesting to see how Burke describes the process in at the media announcement and ensuing interviews.

If I recall correctly Burke said that he doesn't expect to have a GM in place until after the draft back when the playoff race was still on. Coyotes could have made the playoffs which would have prevented the Treliving hire.
