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 agree with this. The Flames need to make some changes to the lineup, but they also need a solid coach.
And IMO, you get the coach first, not only because it is the easiest move, but also because you want to see which players will excel under that coach. If you do it in reverse, you can end up acquiring players that don't fit the new coach's system, and you're chasing your tail again.
Get your man (please be Gallant), establish the identity and systems that you want, and then start rebuilding the roster from there.
