Can someone tell me why the Flames would be looking at him other than the Alberta connection?

Look at their goaltending numbers the past 3 years. The Hurricanes have been a mid-80s point team the past three years while getting barely .900 save percentage goaltending. If they had got league average goaltending, they would've likely been playoff teams the past three seasons.
Peters is a solid coach who's gotten the worst goaltending in the league for 3 straight seasons. I would prefer AV myself, but given how a head coach can't really control how his goaltending performs, it's easy to see why the Flames would be interested.
