Didn't the deal hinge on being able to resign Bishop long-term?
Doesn't really make a lot of sense to me giving a 15 min deadline. Sure I know this is 2017, and we should be able to reach anyone and everyone at any time, but if the deal was solid and just needed approval, and they needed a bit of time to get it, I don't see why Yzerman would shut it down. If the deal from LA was better, he would have told Calgary that, and either the Flames do better or he goes with LA. It makes no sense.
Also, if King is meddling, he is only doing so because that is the mandate given to him by his bosses. I also don't understand what the point would be of hiring Burke.
All that being said, King is still doing a terrible job and needs to go.
