I would say that generally Gulutzan has spent about a third of his tenure in the 2nd category and two-thirds in the 3rd category. Apart from a couple streaks, I'm not sure if this team has ever consistently performed above what people generally think is possible with this roster... especially this year when the goaltending has normalized.

Unless Treliving wants to make massive changes, I think we know what we can expect from this combo of coach plus roster...average at best.

Average-at-best has generally been the Flames motto for 3 decades now though, so I'm assuming management will let this one ride till the summer for fear of looking bad or hurting feelings. Then they will probably go out and hire another cheap rookie coach.
Exactly. Which, on average, makes him a below-average coach.
