If the Flames are a good to elite team, I see no reason why Boudreau wouldn't be able to do the same thing if hired in Calgary.
I don't think the Flames are an elite team, but they should be better than what we've been seeing, a lot better IMO.
As for his lack of playoff success, I don't really care. I'd take 10 straight years of 100+ points in the regular season with no playoff success before the crap that's unfolding before our eyes as we speak.

And there is the disconnect i guess.
He inherited good teams...i thought this team needs a good coach to make them that? Is that not what these pages of discussion are all based on?
This is not a "great" team...i think that much is obvious.
So change the coach and.........hope?
Like Bingo said...they have a guy in mind and dont care about paying a bunch of guys to not coach any more, then by all means make the switch, but really doubtful the results are any different.
I dont know...IMO (and im pretty much on an island here i think) the personnel has proven repeatedly they cannot get it done and i dont believe the second coming of Scotty Bowman combined with Al Arbour makes any big difference.
I think what we see is what we get until at least the off-season no matter what happens behind the bench.
