If the Flames are still on the hook for the last year of Bill Peters' contract, that would be:
$2M for Peters
$0.9M for Ward
$??M for the interim or new coach
Three head coaches on the payroll for 2020-21 season is a terrible look for Treliving.
Not a chance he gets rid of Ward this season, even though Ward is a terrible substitute for a real coach.
Treliving's resistance to hiring a quality coach is mind bottling though. The chances of Gaudreau and Chucky re-signing here would probably increase a little with a competent coach at the helm and some playoff success.
