The way the Flames have been run since Ken King came aboard is a 180 from the way Ron Bremner ran the team.
This team needs a GM. Not a president. (or at least a president who can hire the right GM) All in all, Ken King has done a great job and he should be the guy who takes us into the new building. If he wants to.

No problem at all with Ken King if he was strictly in a business role. He's been a great asset to the team in a business role and that cannot be denied even by his biggest critics. However he's not qualified to be making hockey decisions and it sounds like he is highly involved in decision making in hockey operations. I know I've said this before but I will say it again; there is a reason the Flames are considered a laughing stock around the NHL and a reason they are up at the salary cap and 15th place in the conference. This is what happens when unqualified men are running a hockey team.
