I seem to remember Johnson leaving to take a job with USA hockey, which IIRC was something he was quite passionate about. So I don't know if that was really letting a guy go moreso than letting him move to a job that was more important to him. Didn't he also have a couple of his own kids involved with USA hockey at the time too which my have influenced his desire.
I don't remember it being a situation where the Flames were trying to get rid of him. Certainly I could be dead wrong though, it's 25 plus years ago.
Dave King...that was a guy whom I think may have been let go too soon.
