Julien is waiting on the dream job perhaps? The Habs. Or maybe he wants to live in Florida.
Or to coach the Ca.. ec Nordiques...
I posted a few dozen posts up that the Flames never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity when it comes to coaches. But, perhaps, Flash is right, and it can also be extended to GM's. We were really lucky that we inherited Fletcher and he was able to grow in the job and also had the benefit of the highest payroll in the NHL in the late 80's. After that it's been one more-or-less buffoon after another. Some have done some good things, and we were incredibly lucky to have accidentally traded for the 2 players that saved this franchise - Iginla when we wanted Harvey, and Kiprusoff when we wanted Toskala. Otherwise, it's been a sad tale of hamster wheel mediocrity or outright buffoonery (the end of Darryl as GM, and Feaster ...). Maybe we are just cursed with rotten leadership/ownership and there is no hope at all...
