His work in Nashville hasn't inspired anything either. I must be missing something, but I don't see an upgrade over Huska. I see a potential lateral move as a placeholder, with the added caveat that - like Huska - you would hope that relatively green coaches such as these two are - would perhaps improve over time. I just haven't seen anything on his resume thus far that makes me think he is a solid coach.
I’m not saying I want Burnett either, rather the opposite if I had to choose.
But again pointing out that CGY had lots of options and kept it internal.

There were lots of external candidates that never even got a call back.
Some seem to think nobody wanted to coach our team… lol.
