Doubling down on removing current coaches could be disastrous unless you have a current Asst. coach in Stockton whom you trust to stay the course and has the players down their believing in him as well. Maybe Pittis is that guy...but they best be sure if they go down that road.

It's not an ideal situation, but I would rather take that chance, than hire a long-term guy out of a pool of 3-4 that you may not think is the right guy, but have to stick with for at least 2 years.
Something has to give and I just don't think you can put one of the Flames assistants in the head coaching position as they are a big part of the problem. Apart from perhaps Gelinas who seems to have a smaller role with this staff.
I think the long-term solution is done in the summer, but there's too much invested in this current crop to write off the year, especially with no draft picks to soften the blow.
