So I was curious about this and count up how many different head coaches each team has had since the 2012-2013 season. The results are:
- 8: Florida
- 7: Buffalo, Edmonton, Philadelphia
- 6: Vancouver
- 5: Calgary, Dallas, Ottawa
- 4: Anaheim, Chicago, LA, Minnesota, Montreal, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, San Jose, Toronto, Washington
- 3: Arizona, Boston, Carolina, Colorado, Columbus, Detroit, Nashville, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Vegas (6 seasons), Winnipeg
- 1: Seattle (2 seasons)
(Note - I counted interim coaches who weren't kept on after their interim role)
The Flames are on the high side of normal, but you could certainly argue it's an unusual case because of Peters. Either way, I don't think the Flames are extremely unusual for the shelf life of their coaches. The true outliers to me were the teams at 7-8: Buffalo, Edmonton, Florida, and Philadelphia.
