There is no sign that King is about to be turfed anytime soon either.
In that 21 years the Flames have gotten out of the 1st round twice, the magical and improbable run in 2004 and beating the Nucks in 2015 only to get crushed in the 2nd round by a much superior Ducks team.
Yes the Flames owners spend to the cap in recent years but as proven last night, all the money in the world doesn't buy success if you don't have competent people in the right positions of the organization, especially at the top.
There are also the various reports of meddling by ownership and whether true or not, the results of the Flames with this ownership group, especially after the passing of Hotchkiss, speak for themselves.
So to summarize, ya i'd definitely take my chances with a different ownership group.

When you have senior level employees like Sean Kelso tweeting idiocy comparing Nenshi to Trump you know what level of competence exists in the Flames front office. KK and his staff need a serious overhaul.
