I figure this is as good a time as any to ask the question, being that the distaste for Hartley is at a high and it seems unlikely that his remaining tenure is going to be long.

Out of the currently plausible options, who do you want to be the next coach of the Calgary Flames? and (if it's different) who do you think WILL be the next coach of the Flames? Do you think Hartley is going to stay past this season? Or will he be replaced?

Personally, even though it's tough to call being that we don't have a GM, my money is on Hartley being let go in the summer, and I'm hoping Troy Ward takes his place. He seems to be good for the younger guys, and has taken a pretty average AHL team on paper and made then super competitive.

I could also see Laviolette getting hired, and despite his last season or so of work, that wouldn't bother me at all.
