I'm getting a really unpleasant feeling that Murray Edwards may be the problem. If that's the case then, yes, we're screwed.

I'm also not a fan of hearing that the Flames are "unique in how they do things". This is not an organization that has a good enough track record for that to be a positive.
Yep. That's why I'm worried the issue is Edwards - a businessman with a massive ego who is used to doing things his own way. 'His own way' has worked in the energy industry. But considering his meddling may well go all the way back to putting off a rebuild trying to win a cup with Iginla for too many years, I'd say his own way when it comes to hockey has a terrible track record.
