I made a post about this in another thread, but I didn't want it to be swallowed up by another topic so I thought I would make a thread about this as I think it is worth discussing.So who's the coach in 2012?

I see five possibilities listed in the order of most likely to least likely.

1) Andre Tourigny
2) Ryan Huska
3) Wayne Gretzky(don't rule out this possiblity as Gretz is still buddy buddy with Hockey Canada)
4) Dave Cameron
5) Brent Sutter(two appearances as coach, two gold medals)

My vote would be for Don Hay, but I can't see him doing it, as I'm pretty sure he's turned down the opportunity in the past.

Can't argue with his achievements though. Three WHL titles, three Memorial Cups, plus a WHL and Memorial Cup title as an assistant.

I would love to see Brent Sutter back behind the bench, I think he got more out of any team than any other coach did this past decade, with Pat Quinn a close second. But him returning all depends on his future with the Flames.

Another name I'll throw in there, just for the sake of argument, is Mike Johnson of the Portland Winterhawks.
