TBF, the post about that was partly untrue. It is correct that Edwards does not usually speak at annual investor events. But, he has appeared as a panelist at past AGMs, and a few quarterly employee shareholder meetings, speaking at length.
I attended a couple AGMs within the past five years and he was there both times. He comes across as intelligent and a strong speaker, and you can't really argue with the success CNRL has had.
At the same time, I'm not defending his role with the Flames -- the mediocre long-term results speak for themselves and ownership is ultimately accountable. Whether the team's performance is partly due to meddling from Edwards, I don't know, but where there's smoke there's usually fire.
If he is too hands-on, he needs to stay in his lane and let hockey people do their thing. But, I highly doubt whatever the current dynamic is changes much moving forward.
