You can’t have the experience dealing with NHL egos as a head coach until you have done it. And then there is having done it successfully. Having a coach with a pedigree may be required for this team, if your view is that the core has been underperforming

The Flames do not need Tre to be the smartest guy in the room on this one and go off the board
I always find "smartest guy in the room" cringe worthy.

You don't want to limit your GM to making a decision that he doesn't want to make because it will make him look like he's trying to be the smartest guy in the room.

Hire who he thinks would be the best coach and or staff. Period.

If you don't think he's the guy to pick said coach that's a whole other discussion, but one that needs to happen quite quickly as he's about to make the call.
