Pluses.
Dismissed Weisbrod who was the “brains” behind feaster
Salvaged a second round pick from horribad Bouwmeester deal (Berra trade)
Good return for Stempniak at 2014 deadline
Minus
Got nothing for Cammalleri when we needed to acquire assets
Given who he’s up against, have to go with him despite limited body of work

Yeah, I haven't voted yet because I am having a difficult time sorting out the pros and cons with Burke. Another one that shouldn't be overlooked is the 2014 NHL Draft, where after Sam Bennett the Flames made a string of terrible selections including Hunter Smith in the second round. That draft had Burke's fingerprints all over it.
