The book is out on the Flames surprise last year, the space (or stretch pass) and the activating the d-man is well known, and now that that space is gone, the players look completely lost.

I don't think the players or lazy, or the coaches are incompetent, but the coaches have to find another game plan to generate offense. A "little bit better possession" isn't gonna be enough when the key to last year's success is completely gone.

Can Bob find something else that works? If not, maybe someone else will get a try. Not that Bob is a bad coach or anything, but its a hard step to take and very few coaches/teams can take that jump from pretender to (playoff) contender.
