I totally realize that but everyone jumps to the conclusion that he didn't take the job because of possible interference from King and ownership. Nobody knows why he turned it down. Maybe the Flames discussed the position with him based on him coming in and learning the business to be ready to take over if and when Ken King moves on, and that is why he didn't accept it.
Any multi-million dollar business that hires unqualified people, like Shanny or Messier, and gives them free reign to run things is a doomed business. Shanny would be smart to join a business like the Flames and learn from people like Edwards and the other owners, they didn't become billionaires by not knowing how to run a business.
Shanny and other players may be great hockey minds (which I personally truly doubt from their experience) but business wise they are like fresh college grads, whom nobody would turn their business over to, that is all I am saying.
