The Athletic did something similar with their correspondents in every NHL market. Edwards didn’t rank 30th, but he was mid-20s.
We don’t have the worst ownership in the league, but we’re one tier up from the worst. Not coincidentally, that’s where the franchise ranks in on-ice success over the last 30 years as well.
Being in a small Canadian market is a handicap. Having bad ownership compounds that handicap. The Flames fanbase is eager to throw GMs under the bus (Conroy’s time will come too). But for whatever reason, most are unwilling to acknowledge the problem higher up.
