Look, the special teams are just anemic. I'm not opposed to the Flames cleaning house on the coaching staff at this point. It's going to cost them a shot at the playoffs if they don't change anything. Treliving won't be able to unload any of the roster junk, so this has to be looked at as an option.

The power play sucks in large part because Monahan hasn't been able to win draws when he has to. Fix that and everything else will fall into line.
The PK sucks because the goalies, at their best, are league average. And they're not always at their best. Losing Bouma has been detrimental as well.
There's too much money tied up in the bottom 3 defensemen, the only veteran forwards carrying their weight with consistency are Frolik and Stajan.
There are some fundamental issues with team construction.
Coaching, like Sam Bennett, are the least of my worries.
