I am sure an associate coach is as well. I am just saying if he is thinking big picture do you really want to hedge your entire head coaching future on a veteran laden roster that severely underperformed? Do the Flames put their hopes in a guy that has no NHL HC or assistant experience, 2 years of CHL HC experience, and two years of AHL HC when the pressure to turn things around will be super high and under a microscope? That is a risky bet for both Conroy who just got his job to make as well as Love who if the team doesn't succeed would be killing his own career. I just think the smart move for both parties here is a promotion to associate coach.
