The press conference room looks like a bunker.

I really don't see the reason to have Feaster on going forward. If Burke is running the show let him run the show.

They're hard on him because his performance never matched his potential (and he's paid as if his potential was actualized performance). The guy had all the tools to be the best defenseman in the NHL (and Sutter paid him nearly as much as if that was what he was) but never put them all together.

He's a legit top 4 defenseman but he's paid like he's a true #1.

If I was going to guess... Burke will say he'll evaluate everyone. I doubt he's just going to come in and fire everyone on day one. But wouldn't surprise me if he's fired prior to the season.

i hope feaster isn't let go. i think just looking at the prospect polls, pretty happy with the mark he's left on the franchise thus far.

Still having burke in the mix is beneficial, as i do like the way he builds his teams (kessel move excluded).

Good hire by The Flames. But Feaster has to go and i'm sure he will soon. Burke will bring in his own guy.

Feaster has had some (hopefully) great drafts, but he did this team no favours with his trades. I'll be happy to see him out the door for someone like Burke.

Murray Edwards with a rare appearance in the front row. That said, this is likely his and the owners' hire.
