I voted 'They shouldn't, but they will' only because there wasn't a 'They shouldn't keep him as HC and the new HC should decide if Ward stays as part of the Coaching Staff."
IMO keeping him on staff helps with continuity. That's probably less of an issue if Flames hire a world-class coach with instant credibility who commands instant buy in from the players.
I'm not holding my breath for that though, so whatever next big thing or washout they pull out of a dumpster to coach the Flames will probably benefit from that continuity.
It's why I flip flop on this core - an elite coach is the one thing they haven't benefited from on this team. This core is the product of our awesome rebuild, I'd like to see a great coach get everything out of them before people part ways.
