But it's not like the Flames have been the only team looking at coaches the past few years. The ones that were considered game changers had their pick of the litter. The number of available coaches considered to be game changers is probably smaller than the number of vacancies in any given year. I also don't think it is too uncommon for proven coaches to sit out and bide their time rather than opting to jump into a pressure cooker.
The Flames get to pick from the ones that can't afford to be picky.
