I dont think there 1 chance in a million Dave Tippett is in Calgary next season or ever as long as BT is here.

Don Maloney was Trelivings mentor. Gave him his big break to get into the management side of the NHL...a very elite and small club. Maloney taught him and groomed him well enough that BT then got his own team. For that, BT will forever be loyal to Maloney and rightfully so.

So when Tippett made a power play for Maloneys job last year, IMO it completely sealed his fate to work with anyone in the Maloney management tree. A guy who had hired DT and kept him safe through some bad seasons as well as decent ones, and was stabbed in the back. Guys like that aren't usually welcomed back by those who were victimized.

At least this is how I understand what happened and if thats the case then DT will be no where near this club at this point.
I could be reading it entirely wrong, as that wouldnt be unusual, but the logic is sound.
