Cause that is a very small group and even smaller of who would be available.

Gallant as an example...yeah he went to the finals in that 1st year with Vegas but beyond that his playoff record is abysmal. Same with Boudreau.

I suppose Julien could be considered but he literally just got fired because his club couldnt beat Ottawa and was replaced by an assistant with no NHL HC experience, the exact same scenario we are at here.

So Im honestly not sure who would satisfy the masses that would be much different than what we have now...a guy who hasnt even really had the chance to be good or bad.

I get if a Quennville or Laviolette was sitting there and willing to move to Calgary...great, sign me up.

Beyond that though...really not sure who that guy would be.

For this franchise any of their achievements would be major highlights. I'll take what they've done over what the team we support has done. Coaches are hired to be fired, so the fact that other teams have moved on from them means nothing. They've shown they can get teams to win. We don't expect to hire a coach who wins the Stanley Cup every season. Just bring in someone who can get the most from this team, and perhaps that results in some pretty good runs. That is the hope.
