North American soil isn't the most crucial measuring stick.
May I ask a serious question ? How did Kruger accomplish more with the Oilers than any other Oilers coach in 10 plus years in 48 games and a loosing record ? How can you even form an opinion on 48 games ? Yes, he was probably cut loose too soon cause of idiotic management in Edmonton, but, still- where's the track record for North American hockey ?

Having 20 plus years coaching is great, but there are guys who have been coaching in the minors, professional, for many years as well. He coached German tier 2 ! The guy is in soccer now- since 2014.

I don't know man, this Kruger thing is absolutely baffling to me- zero sense. And you want him as the new Flames coach ?
