The GM is much more of a CEO and ownership is a BOD in a typical public company construct. I haven't seen many CEO's successfully pass off responsibility for business failure to their Board.

Before the playoff series against the AVS in 2019, when the Flames had the best record in the conference,VERY FEW people questioned whether Sean and Johnny were high end top line Stars, with the stats to back it up.
Yes , their play did diminish the last half of that season and gone further downhill since.However , very few on this board could, or actually did, predict the rapid decline of both.
I most definitely agree that they are, currently, a mere shadow of their former selves.
