Flames have been one of the healthiest teams in the league so no big advantage for us in terms of getting injured players back.
But with a little training camp, it would be the perfect time to hire the coach you want. Is there an established coach who lives in Alberta who could be coaxed into coming back for one more shot at glory? You know the kind of coach who is real hard on his guys, someone with a championship pedigree who has taken an 8 seed to playoff glory?

If the vote by the PA is a yes, it sounds like players will start making their way to their respective cities by next week and in 10-14 days teams will start training with those allowed too.
Euros/Americans that arent here already will have to quarantine for the full 2 weeks as mandated by the feds. So I suspect you will see full TC's everywhere somewhere around June 14th or so. Games likely to start July 3/4 if everything goes well.
As for coaching....no one is making a change at this point. Moot point.
