To Moons comment, why do we need a hockey guy as the president. The hockey guy should be overseeing the entire hockey operation, that to me means sales, the building, fan experience, yes the team on the ice, public relations, budget and communication with the owners and more.

The last thing we need is a hockey guy in that role, the presidents role is the business end.

That's the biggest problem.

Maybe the structure here is messed. The hockey department is one small part of the entire organization that is the Calgary Flames.

Maybe we need less hockey guy and more tasking guy.

We need a guy and an ownership group that really sets expectation and results requirements from the hockey side and lets them loose with the consideration being success.

A president should be getting the business plan and budget requirements from the hockey department and then doing the required coordination with ownership, but not actively participating in the day to day operations.


Less hockey guy more big picture vision guy.

Maybe we have weak hockey management and the owners and King don't trust them.

But I read with concern about King handling negotiations with players, isn't that why we got Feaster and his staff?

Less hockey guy, more business guy that can set expectations and only get involved when its clear that the hockey department or sales department or building department are struggling and fall short.

This is a massive business first and a on ice organization second as a subset of the whole thing.
