There was some talk of that when Gallant got fired but Yzerman confirmed that Blashill was returning for next season. So unless Yzerman has a change of heart Gallant would have to wait at least a year. I feel like if Yzerman wanted Gallant or if Gallant was interested it would’ve happened already.
Gallant most likely wants to coach a contender.

I would have no confidence in him. He’d probably fail with this group.
Flames need a guy who has a track record of getting their teams to play above expectation. Babcock hasn’t done that in 10 years.
