If the Flames want to move on from Ward the off season makes a lot more sense for timing where more candidates are available. Julien would just be more of the same- except more expensive. I don't see it.

For quite a while Julien has been the example of how paying a lot for a coach doesn’t guarantee success. I think they’ve been ready to get rid of him for quite a while but then they’d have been paying him $5M to not coach for years. This was the last (and shortened) year of that contract.
