Rebuilding is not the answer.
Retooling the core? Absolutely.
Like others have mentioned, we have to yet again look for a top tier coach. Those are the guys that win playoff series.
Hartley? Gone because of disagreements with Treliving
GG? Treliving's pick, terrible pick
Peters? Was good, but was a terrible coach outside of camera view. Also wasn't good during the Avs playoff series.
Ward? Interim HC, too inexperienced to lead the helm with the Flames. If he wants a HC job, a rebuilding team can try him. If he can remain an AC here, then he can stay.
None of these guys were top tier HC's. We really need to spend the money on one if we want to ever go far in the playoffs. Find a coach that can make the proper in-game adjustments to win the games necessary to move on from each round.
