It didn't take long for Brian Burke to begin making his imprint on the Calgary Flames, as the president of hockey operations canned both General Manager Jay Feaster and assistant General Manager John Weisbrod. Burke will fill the role of General Manager in the interim until a permanent replacement is found. Feaster had been with the Flames since 2010, and was the man in charge when they Flames parted ways with Jarome Iginla last season. Three years of non-improvement, marked this year by the fact that only provincial rival Edmonton is breaking their fall in the standings, plus Burke joining the team prior to this season, spelled doom for Feaster. Potentially, this could also spell the end for Bob Hartley, as Burke hinted at a style change in the way the team plays. In short, expect the Flames to be set back even further in their rebuilding process for the foreseeable future.
