I like Burke. He's opinionated & he's a blow-hard, but he's also savvy & has been through it all. I'd rather have him (with his years of NHL experience) in our organisation than working for a rival team.
I'm hoping he and Treliving can build something similar to his Anaheim team, rather than his clusterfata of a Toronto franchise.

I say at minimum 8 years, unless he resigns. The president gets a certain level of autonomy, although with Pres of Hockey Ops being a relatively new position in the game it's hard to say what the lifespan is.
But I generally think of it like this.
During a rebuild coaches lifespan is 2-3 years and a GM usually gets 2 coaches before they become the problem. So since Pres of Hockey Ops is above that, I would think he gets 2 GMs during his tenure.
