I think Playfair would make a decent option for the PK. Flames did a good job this season under Jerrard, but he was also in charge of the defence as a whole and I thought they could have been better defensively 5on5. Playfair is about as experienced as one could hope when it comes to being an assistant.
I don't know enough about Hunter's coaching, but without a doubt he has a lot of experience.
Nate Leaman is an interesting choice. I am not sure he would leave, but who knows. I think he has a great mind for the game, and Providence was a very well-rounded team, and he made Union into a powerhouse when he was there. Won championships with both programs after building both programs - he gets a nod from me.
Montgomery is another name I wouldn't mind either, but it does look like he may get hired as a head coach this season.
Maclean gets my vote - but with all the movement this off-season, I would be surprised if he doesn't land a head coaching position somewhere.
