I know that Murray Edwards is a member of the group of owners who ran the team for 30 years before anybody thought of hiring a hockey professional to conduct a search for a general manager.
This franchise should have hired an independed POHO in 1991, the day after Cliff Fletcher quit. Instead, they kept promoting inadequate GMs from within, or hiring inexperienced people who would do the job on the cheap. That may not count as meddling; I would rather describe it as stubborn incompetence.
