Default The Next Flames Coach | News & Rumors

There's a couple threads out there that deal with the firing of Hartley and who everyone wants as the next coach, but there's no thread dedicated to any news or rumors about the coaching search so I figured I would start one.

Here's what we have so far:

I'm not as convinced that prerequisite is absolutely essential in CGY, that Flames may, and I say may, be more open to 1st time NHL HC.

Friedman on 960 morning show: http://www.sportsnet.ca/960/boomer-m...-morning-show/
  • Talk about John Stevens as a potential candidate
  • Wouldn't be surprised if Travis Green and/or Geoff Ward are interviewed for the Calgary job
  • Calgary is looking more for presence rather than experience
  • Friedman says Boudreau would love to be in Ottawa and Sens would love him, has family there
  • Also Boomer has said that Dater's report of an offer on Boudreau's table from the Flames is not true.

Boudreau:

Adrian Dater ‏@adater 5h5 hours ago
Flames making big pitch for Boudreau. Offer already on table

4h4 hours ago Minnesota Wild real hot after Boudreau too, probably more than Flames. Might come down to who offers most money/term

4h4 hours ago
Minnesota hoping for a quick decision from Boudreau. Doesn't want to get into big bidding war

2h2 hours ago
I don't think Boudreau will wind up in Calgary though

Carlyle:

Renaud Lavoie ‏@renlavoietva
With Bob Hartley gone, expect Randy Carlyle to be one of the candidates for the vacant job in Calgary. #flames #tvasports
