I forget who, but one of the insiders said the plan is for the Flames to get down to a final list this week and a decision soon after. My prediction is (depending on how the series goes), we'll get an announcement the week of June 12. Game 5 is scheduled for the 13th and Game 6 for the 16th.
I say: - If the series is tied 2-2 after 4, Flames coach introduced on June 12, the day before Game 5. No distraction since there will be a Game 6 no matter what.
- If the series is 3-1 after 4, Flames coach is introduced on the 14th or 15th... If the series ends on the 13th, announcement on the 15th. If Game 6 is required, announcement on the 14th.
- If the series is a sweep, announcement any day the week of the 12th.

Barring a big name hire a la Quenville, I’m not sure how much hype announcing a new Flames coach takes away from the series. I see your point though.
