It hasn't just been CP people making that claim. Plugged in hockey people like Duhatschek and now Friedman are pointing out that their contacts in the league - genuine NHL players, agents, managers, etc. - see the Flames as a team with a lot of meddling in management of the team.
As for Edwards, I believe his meddling was in the form of wanting to keep Iginla in Calgary. That alone probably set back the rebuild by two years. If you're a prospective GM who believes the Flames have to rebuild, and yet ownership won't let you move by far the best asset to gain picks and prospects, how attractive does the job look?
