Burke attended the World Hockey Summit hosted in Toronto in 2010, and wanted NHL participation in the Winter Olympics to continue, but felt that teams should receive financial compensation while the NHL season was on hiatus during the Olympics. He proposed allowing the NHL oversee a world championship which had potential to a financially lucrative venture while league games were not being played.
In December 2011, Burke drew criticism in the media for his mid-season extension of head coach Ron Wilson, with whom he was notably friends. “Burke and Wilson were born a month apart, were college roommates and teammates on the Providence College Friars hockey team in Rhode Island in the 1970s and have been friends ever since. Despite Wilson’s three consecutive losing seasons, Burke renewed Wilson’s contract with a $2 million extension. News of the contract broke on social media site Twitter, where Wilson posted that “This Xmas could be better if Santa stuffs a certain piece of paper in my stocking” and “‘He came! He came!’ […] I got a new Red Ryder BB gun and a contract extension!”, to which Burke replied, “Congratulations to Ron Wilson on his contract extension! Merry Christmas Ron!” Later, Burke defended his decision in the media, stating “This is a coach who’s earned this, a coach who’s earned this extension,” and “It’s not charity. It’s not a gift.” However, Wilson was released with full pay three months later following mounting losses and jeers from fans. “Every coach has a shelf life,” Burke said. “After the last home game, it would be cruel and unusual punishment to let Ron coach another game in the Air Canada Centre.”

After firing Jay Feaster and John Weisbrod, he became the acting general manager during the search for a permanent GM. On April 28, 2014, Burke hired Brad Treliving as the permanent GM of the Calgary Flames.
