I certainly think there is a perception that the owners/King are meddling but haven't heard anyone say this is fact.
These facts you are looking for will never happen, because nobody reports on that level of specific detail on meetings with GMs, owners, and the like. Not on the Flames, not on any other NHL team, not in any sport.

That's the model, sure. But the proof is in the pudding. I doubt anyone in the hockey fraternity will believe Flames ownership have stopped meddling until they see that it's stopped.
