I’m wishing this staff nothing but the best. However I’m not going to read much into comments in the off-season. Gulutzan said this when hired:
Quote:
On his approach with players:
“You have to build relationships and when you have trust, you create an emotional bank account when you have to push players.”
On the style the Flames will play:
“In the West, you have to be a blend. Five years ago, I knew one way to play. We want to play fast, defend fast. You still have to play in the trenches and be strong along the walls. And how can we not spend time in our zone? There will be changes and it will be exciting. We want to be a connected group of fives in all three zones.”

I recall lots of comments about playing fast, exciting hockey and a Treliving saying Gulutzan would drive players. I’m not trying to show up anyone, rather remind that talk is just talk.
