I did not claim this is the case. I am merely suggesting it is something to consider. My point being that NHL GMs will have their own parameters and criteria for evaluating coaches that do not necessarily conform to those of fans. I personally think Vignault is a great coach, and he was my first choice to coach the Flames. But I am also prepared to concede that I may be wrong about all of that.
I personally really like Job Montgomery and believe that he is a rising star in NHL coaching ranks. Admittedly, my own opinion is governed rather superficially by my limited viewing of his time and record in the NCAA.

He is making a ton of money staying at home right now and he will get the opportunity to coach where he feels it will be the best fit.

This is certainly possible. I guess it will remain to be seen.
