I would doubt that a business man as prudent as Murray Edwards would have a figurehead role on the Flames. Burke is the president of hockey ops, meaning everybody reports to him. I imagine a man in his role needs to have a full understanding of every aspect of the hockey side of the business, meaning he is constantly having meetings, calls, or emails updating him on all the going ons of the scouting department, the trainers, the coaches, and the GM. There are a lot of moving parts on an NHL hockey team, and a lot of them do extend outside the GMs role. I'd imagine he's actually quite a busy guy.
