Boudreau has had some success, but has had health issues. Being a player's coach for this team would kill him probably.
Gallant, there has to be some reason why he gets canned in such unceremonious ways.
Laviolette was probably never going to choose Calgary, plus I don't think we want a coach that punches players in the head on the bench when he gets frustrated. If the country club hated Hartley, they weren't going to play for Laviolette either.
If you are paying $3 million+ for a coach, you need to be sure that it is indeed the missing piece. Until this team gets rid of the coach killing players, I don't think it matters who the coach is.

The team probably needs to get rid of the coach killing GM who acquires the coach killing players first.
