I seem to recall the media reporting that we interviewed him though and I am sure they knew what kind of coach he was. He accepted the St.Louis offer on June 13th and the Flames hired Gulutzan on June 17th, so the timing seems make sense too. I believe he fits the possession-driven systems coach they were looking for too.
Just a guess of course.
