30 NHL teams. 30 President's jobs. Very few are available every year. In some markets, they become available once in 20 years due to retirement.
Calgary - nor any other NHL market - will ever have a 'tough time' at attracting executives. It is laughable to even think so. There may be some 'preferred' markets amongst individuals, but if you want a president's job, you simply have to to take one of the VERY few (often, the ONLY one) available. Coaches get canned, GM's do as well, but with substantially less turnover. Presidents? They have considerably longer tenures than Coaches and GMs on average.
Calgary (nor any other NHL organization) will ever 'suffer' from not being able to attract top talent.
