The contract ends at the end of June. The draft is in June and free agency a week later. When was the last time a GM position opened up at that time. Teams aren't going to fire their GM's in the peak time for a chance at a GM.

There are not going to be other teams firing their GM before, or a day after the draft, or on the eve of free agency for the chance that Calgary doesn't re-sign him by June 30th. There will only be one vacancy if it comes to that and it will be with the Calgary Flames.

This is a rubber stamp decision that will occur shortly after the season ends. IMO it is a much ado about nothing. The reason there is no urgency is because of all the above.
