What I do care about are outcomes... and the fact of the matter is that the teams performance on the ice under the Presidency of Ken King has overall been pretty abysmal and Murray Edwards ought to have King held to account for that. It doesn't matter if King does "meddle" in hockey operations because he's the guy that hires all the hockey operations people. The failings of Hockey Ops are on him as much (if not more) then then anyone else in the org regardless of how hands on he is.

I agree. The buck stops with the guy at the top. That isn't the coach, or the GM, or the VP of Hockey Ops, or the President of the team. It is the owner. It is also not an evaluation you base on one season, but on several. Twenty five years of mostly failure tells me that the ownership is making bad decisions on who they employ.
I doubt they change more than the coach. I hope it isn't another unproven guy, but history suggests that's what this franchise does.
