Honestly, I think the team has some roster issues that need to be addressed. Other teams in the division improved over the year where the Flames were complacent it seems. Ward probably got the most out of the players any other coach would have.

Or BT thinks he is the smartest guy in the room. I think he decides who he is going to hire and that's that. Doesnt matter who else is out there. He doesn't even interview people really from what I've read. I honestly I think he wants a tepid yes man who won't threaten his own job security. He wants a lesser hockey man who will be happy in his role and not threaten his. A darryl sutter type hire just wont happen because that would be BT hiring someone who can slip into the GM role during a power struggle.
