Hi all,

It has been 3 years now that President Brian Burke was hired for the Flames and I am wondering what the CP thoughts were on his tenure with the Flames?

Personally I think this particular role has been a great one for him and I think he has done a good job as President. A few friends and fans I have talked about are a little disappointed with the lack of overall success the team has had under his guidance. I remember the excitement a lot of people had when he was hired and I heard from many that he was "A top 3 GM" or a perennial "winner"

What type of length of time would ownership keep Burke around for? I believe I had read at a few different articles that he doesn't officially have a contract for a specific length with the Flames, more of an open-ended agreement. I believe when he was with the Leafs his salary was approx $3 mil a year, anybody want to take a guess what his salary could be for the Flames??

If anybody knows how to start a poll for this thread, go ahead and get one going. I tried doing a search but I couldn't figure it out.

Thanks!
