update1:
Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 9s
Hearing Burke has already begun process of contacting GM candidates. I suspect some familiar names such as Nieuwendyk will be on the list...

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 3m
Burke is expected to act as interim GM until new guy is hired. Poulin, Loiselle, Futa, Benning, Treliving all have cred as candidates...

Did anyone doubt that Burke was the new GM of the Calgary Flames when he came on board?

If this is true and we fire Feaster I pray to the good Lord that included in the reasoning is the phrase:

"The goal was in".
