Changing the coach will not really address the issues. The Flames will need a bit of a reset to get to the next steps. If you look at the two teams, Dallas has two generations of player, the first lot with Benn, Seguin, and radulov. Then there is a second group of high draft picks that have panned out like Heiskenen,Klingberg and the others.

The Flames missed out on this with the Hamonic trade and other draft trades. There is really no substitute for high end talent in the draft.

I am not sure that the top players are good enough, that’s more for the professionals to decide, but it is quite easy to see that they are short of higher end talent that done other teams have.
