King's the meat shield for the Flames owners like Bettman is to the NHL owners. Absolutely no way he gets turfed while the project is ongoing. A lot of the criticism that can be directed straight to the owners goes to King instead. It's just part of the job. People like to say "King this" and "King that" but the truth is that he's just the figurehead for the owners and carrying out their bidding.
