I think the Flames are going to be fairly mediocre again next year and it would be pointless to fire Hartley because next summer there will just be a new guy helming a failure. Folks will just point out the weakest link in that team and make the argument that we should fire the coach and things will get better....
The bottom line is that this is a very poor roster and a club without a clear managerial direction forward due to meddling ownership. Changing the coach will do very little.
