No mention of it in this piece, but they mention that Anaheim was also interested in Greene at the time.

As many as 10 candidates may be considered for the Flames’ position and the front-runners now appear to be New Jersey Devils assistant coach Geoff Ward and former Edmonton Oilers head coach Ralph Krueger. Flames GM Brad Treliving has cited the experience of building something of significance at various levels in the game as being a key criteria to develop his young players and get the Flames back to the playoffs.

I don't recall Krueger being seriously considered at the time. Interesting that Ward was a consideration back then. It sounds like Ward was also the back-up guy for a while. He was considered a front runner a few years ago.
