Since Edwards took over, the history of Flames ownership meddling in the operations of the team is well attested. I don't have any difficulty at all believing Flames GMs have been given marching orders to do what they need to do to win a Cup with Iggy, get into the playoffs, etc.
It sucks. Because at least with an impatient GM you can hold out hope of replacing him with a more far-sighted GM. But Murray Edwards isn't going anywhere, so it is what it is (which is why the Flames franchise is what it is).
