The coach is not going to to have any say realistically unless this team is even more messed up than it already is (which would be near impossible). Either way, your comments are baseless and unfounded. Whether you like the coach or not, he did not chase off two core players in any way. Instead of pouting and underperforming about the demands of the coach to career worst seasons, Tkachuk and Gaudreau rose to the challenge and had career years.
The Flames went down a path that led them to giving said players a ton of leverage last off season - which they both executed on. Whether we like it or not, the primary reason these players left is because they didn't want to live in the city for another 7 years.
