Sutter would be my 2nd choice. I'm a big concerned that we don't have the personnel to play his grind 'em style like LA did. But he would command immediate respect and the days of the Flames being pushovers and soft would be done.
Either hire I'd be happy with, but AV is my first choice.

I'm not saying AV turned the Sedins into stars, but he sure helped it along. He took a long look up and down his lineup and built his structure around the tools (players) he had.
I bet AV wouldn't have a problem tailoring an attack around Johnny's abilities, and making set plays where Monahan is a triggerman since he so damn effective at finding quiet ice and unleashing a lighting quick shot.
