Any CPers have any questions they'd like to be asked? I'm assuming there will be a question period.

Mine would probably be Kens opinion on trading a player with the promise of Sven to a rival team.
Will you follow up that riveting question for the President with one that inquires on his stance on whether the president should meddle in hockey maters.

Nenshi didn't offer anything up so he doesn't get any involvement in or political capital out of the new arena.

When the new arena announcement happens I expect it will be a major deal and will involve media, politicians, likely NHL brass in addition to everyone from CSE. So I wouldn't be expecting any announcement at U of C just because Ken King is speaking.

No one asked any questions about the arena, so Ken King did not mention it at all. Ken King did say that he thinks he would make a great scout, because he is good at evaluating talent. He also said that he believes that the coaching position is one of the most important in the organization.

Apparently the flames once brought in Disney to help them improve customer service, but Disney was useless. He also said that the players and management often make agreements that have nothing to do with contract. For an example, Hudler has strong desires to return home to the Czech Republic each year, and the flames let him do that. However, in return, Jiri has to maintain his excellent physical condition (especially as he gets older).

Also, Ken King has severe ADD. He was shaking his chair and even sitting on it like a monkey at certain points. It was sort of funny.

^^ Man, it's not cool to make fun of the guy for having ADD.

I've had the owner of the team come and speak in front of my class before. He is no Ken King, but he was nice enough to donate 12 million dollars to our school - which is why they named it after him.

The less King has to do with the players and hockey management, the better I feel.
