Being in demand does not equal having a proven track record.
This team consistently refuses to hire proven coaches. They hire buddies, family members, first-timers, retreads looking at redemption, and has-beens. They will do it again this summer, instead of gunning for guys like Laviolette.
Just look at the track record of coaches after they are through with the Flames. Usually the next stop is Russia, the juniors, or the retirement home.
