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.

I think the problem is that a lot of people believe (and a lot of signs point to) that King is doing more than handling the business operations.
I would say ideally that King moves up to President of the Calgary Flames Sports group and handles all the big items for the 5 teams the Flames ownership owns and a hockey guy is brought in as President.
Hopefully this gets King far enough away/brings in a strong enough candidate that they can tell him to stay away from hockey decisions but still allows King to handle the arena issues/TV and radio deals etc.
