There isn't a coach in history that could take the Flames as currently assembled and make them a playoff team. From all accounts, the players are playing hard and as a team.
This is not easy medicine to take, but I think year 1 is actually going pretty well. There are improvements within the team (Monahan,Brodie, Russell, Gio and hopefully the goalies), but they are likely to bottom out in the standings. High draft picks and an infusion of talent is what they need, not necessarily a new coach.
