I don’t know what Sigalet does every day, but position coach in the NHL is a weird thing.

Would a pitching coach survive multiple managers and year after year of bad pitching on an MLB team? Nope.

Would a special teams coach survive multiple head coaches and year after year of bad special teams in the NFL? Nope.

Sometimes teams make changes to see if a different voice can get more out of the players being coached. It does seem a little odd that Flames haven’t done that. Even the best coaches aren’t always successful and get replaced.

I’m sure there’s some kind of reason he’s still here.
