This organization just can't get anything right. Here's hoping they finally do this time.

Not necessarily. As the Flames' sporting empire has expanded, so too has King's role. He's the Pres of the Flames, the governor of the Hitmen and Roughnecks, probably also of the Stampeders now, and is quite involved in the arena project. King's role is pretty much to be the head honcho and visible face of ownership for the entire Calgary Flames LP.
In this scenario, King effectively becomes the President of the Calgary Flames LP - which he basically is now - and Shanahan (or whomever) President of the Calgary Flames Hockey Club. King's overall role remains, but a new guy comes in to focus on the hockey team alone.
At least, that's my somewhat ideal theory.
