I don't understand the willingness to hire a coach to cater to a style of play for a couple of players that came from that with a GM that decided to trade them rather than pay them.
Like it or not we are married to Huberdeau long term, returning him to a 100+ point player is our only real path forward unless we tear it down and rebuild and we all know that isn't happening

Probably the fact we're investing almost $20 into those two players the majority of the next decade whether we like it or not, and we tried the clashing style coach, don't got much to lose going the other direction for a couple years.

Ideally for me we bring in someone who is established. New coaches scare me since Ward and Guletzan. I would bring in Love to be assistant/associate coach with the understanding the next coaching change he is behind the bench

And for the love of god bring in someone better for a goalie coach. Hell we bringing the band back together lure Kipper out of retirement. Whatever it takes, case of vodka a week, unlimited darts, whatever.

Would be ok with Gelinas back as an assistant as well

I always think to myself: you know who would make a great coach? An anti-social guy who doesn't talk much and wants nothing to do with hockey :sarcasm:

DailyFaceoff's Frank Seravalli mentions Mitch Love and Andrew Brunette as potential candidates for the Calgary Flames head coach position.



What role could Iginla have with Flames and is Treliving the front-runner for Leafs job?

Muller coaches one of the worst powerplays all season long with zero adjustments so naturally he deserves a promotion. Experience Murray Edwards ownership.

To be fair, if Sutter refused to even practice the PP or make changes (allegedly) I'd lay at least a major chunk of the blame at his feet too.
