I used to have a reasonably high opinion of Ken King in the past but if you consider how the franchise has turned into a circus in the last couple of seasons he should be the person ultimately responsible for everything.
It's just the way the guy speaks in interviews. Considering how flames management have looked like bumbling idiots in recent times he speaks with such arrogance and certainty. Always acting like he has all the answers, he speaks like he belongs with other great hockey minds or something. When the fact of the matter is this franchise has taken a nose dive in recent times and he is the man at the wheel.
I would rather see Burke in King's job.

You want Burke taking care of the Flames business matters and the new arena? That's King's bread and butter. Burke is a hockey guy, and has been appointed as such. You should be hearing a lot less from King on hockey matters now.
