Coaching is the most significant upgrade they can make without having to trade anyone. Treliving has caused this build of the Flames to have questions marks for far longer than it should. Get the elite coach and start trimming your roster from there.
Giving the benefit of the doubt to Gulutzan and Peters is dumb, they've won precisely nothing in the NHL playoffs.

I am for sure not saying the coaching can't be upgraded. I don't see it happening this season though. And I also agree its the easiest change to make. That said, it's a bit of a cop out and a cave in tho underperforming POs. GG and Peters didn't win in the POs, true. But they each got them to the POs, Peters with a very good record (largely built on early returns which IMO suggests that players backslid like I suggested).
