Rather I would expect and hope they are doing a much deeper look at his body of work and asking if he's the right guy.

I wonder if the Flames are really capable of a "deeper look" that's truly meaningful.
I already pondered this in another thread, but goaltending is a very specified position, which has developed quite a bit in the last 5-15 years, as have the coaching methods.
In other words, it wouldn't surprise me if the only people in the organization qualified to judge the work of goalie coaches are the goalie coaches and to some extent the goalies.
The Flames of course have access to more detailed statistics than we do, but I'm not sure those can provide really meaningful results, given the short timeframe and the number of other variables involved. (Different head coaches, different goalies.)

Heat have their own goaltending coach, as does every other development team.
