And I have to admit, the way they have mismanaged assets under his tutelage the last 3 seasons when the ship started sinking, has proven time and again that the latter is true.

Ken King is a businessman... under his presidency the Flames have continually sold out the venue, made money of of licensing, expanded their entertainment footprint (Stamps, Roughnecks, etc. etc.)... for a businessman that seems like a pretty solid tenure.
The Flames are a business and as a business it's primary goal is not to "win championships" it's to make money. Now making money is a whole lot easier when you have extra productions (AKA Playoff Home Games) but honestly if I were Flames ownership why would I show someone whose done his job admirably (from a profit/loss stantpoint) the door? Until the Flames go from continually in the black to continually in the red Ken Kings job is probably pretty safe so long as he wants it.
