I think one of the reasons for these President of Hockey Ops jobs is to add long term stability to the organizational directions.

I think without success you see most coaches averaging ~2.5 years.

Most GMs get to make two coaching hires, and last ~5 years.
He rides the coach he inherited for 1 year.
Brings in the guy he wanted for 3 years.
Makes a coaching change in a last ditch effort to keep his job. 1 year

I think most of these Presidents will get to Hire 2 GMs and last ~ 7 - 9 years.
Pretty much the same cycle.
Burke Had Feaster for 1 year.
Treliving will be here for ~5 years barring any major success.
Unless the new GM has instant success Burkes days will be numbered, anywhere from 1 -3 years we haven't really seen this one play out yet.
