Duhatschek just came out with an article in the Athletic, some interesting thoughts-
Quote:
The Flames have three worthy internal candidates — assistant coaches Ryan Huska and Kirk Muller, and in the minors the two-time AHL coach of the year in Mitch Love.
If they extend the search beyond their own organization, you’d think Alex Tanguay, currently an assistant in Detroit, would be at or near the top of the list. Tanguay and Iginla had a long successful playing partnership in Calgary.

If I were handicapping the coaching race, I would put Huska at the top of the list. He was a finalist for the Detroit job that went to Derek Lalonde last summer.

Love’s resume is impressive but I would like to see him work on an NHL staff before taking the next step.

Tanguay is the wild card as someone that would fit in nicely with a front office that includes Conroy and maybe eventually Iginla.
