Usually I don't care for what Burke says but he's been irritating this off-season. First the "we have 8 guys we really like" which flopped "we have a ledge of top 6" a week later after the lottery. It's one thing to not show your hands but flip flopping like that and this comment re Coyotes GM doesn't impress anyone.

There was no implication that he was dumb (that's on you, actually), simply that he is inexperienced at everything 'GMing' except analysis.
Being the GM of an NHL team is a huge job, and has many more fronts than simply drafting and trading.
Everything I hear and read about Chayka suggests that he is an extremely bright young man. Regardless, there is no way in hell that I would make him GM (yet) if it were my team.
