It would be such a Calgary Flames thing to do to hire Darryl Sutter when Alain Vingeault is available.
The Flames could've hired Laviolette the summer they hired Brent - Laviolette went and took the Flyers to the final that year with Brian Boucher and Michael Leighton.
It seems clear that any of the veteran options would have been better than Gulutzan.
The best players on this team would benefit so much from Alain Vingeault. This is a team built to play fast, not heavy. A whole three players on this roster are built to play Sutter hockey.
They have four more years of Gaudreau/Monahan/Tkachuk at reasonable money. They can't waste that trying to force Johnny Hockey to do what Darryl Sutter tells him when Alain Vingeault is sitting right there. Pay that man and get him some faster players.
