With a team that SHOULD have been much better, but has also hosted many career highs for core players, it seems as though a lot of the functional mess that is the 2017-18 season is being blamed on the coach.
If (and hopefully so) the flames go out and acquire a new head coach and/or new coaching staff completely, who do you believe would be a good fit in Calgary? I believe a lot of the players are still great, but there is no internal leadership, motivation, or direction in the locker room and that comes from the coaches side.
For starters, I would like to mention that Joel Quenneville could be a nice fit having handled a pairing similar to Johnny and Monahan in Toews and Kane, and knows how to utilize a younger skilled team as the flames are right now. All I know is a little playoff persistence, experience, and familiarity would help this team a lot. I don't know too much about coaches around the league or whats available, but I wouldn't mind bringing Sutter in as a coach again either. The man sucked as a GM for them, but as a coach, I think a hardass player optimizer couldn't hurt here either!
What do you guys think? Are there better fits or potentials? Ryan Huska from the Flames AHL affiliate Stockton Heat is a cheap try as well, but he is a players coach too and... well... you get it.
