want to come to the Flames. He would command a deal similar to Babcock both in terms & dollars. I doubt Calgary is at the top of his list.
I believe when GG was hired the organization spoke about hiring a young coach who would grow with the team. Well, this is growing with the team. It's not going to be a straight line to the cup. There are going to be ups & downs. If they fired him, it would be an about face from where they were two years ago.
As others have mentioned, there has yet to be a legitimate rumour the Flames are going to make a coaching change. Just a ton of whining from fans. Friedman said on the fan a couple weeks back he didn't think the Flames would make a coaching change and it's more likely they make a big trade or two to change the room.
It won't be popular with a lot of fans, but if the Flames are to believed with what they had to say when they hired GG, he likely isn't going anywhere just yet. Perhaps they send a shot across the bow by firing an assistant or two, thus shortening GG's leash.
