So yes, I do believe that if Burke feels like something has to be done it will be done regardless of who on the staff disagrees with him.

I'm pretty relaxed on this front.
Why?
Craig Conroy. The guy empties his head when he's on the radio. He told all that it was Todd Button that made the Gaudreau call, he said he and Brad have a guy, and didn't mention having to see what Brian wants, or Brian will make the final call once.
That speaks volumes to me. If there was trouble this man would let it slip.
The Flames have placed more trust in Button in the last several drafts, and now have added a good young talent evaluating former assistant GM.
Burke is there to help and have a say, but I don't get the feeling he's calling the shots. I think he's firmly in the backseat and objecting if he hates something.
Time will tell though
