If Sutter didn't have the contract with the Flames I think he would be the #1 target but can't see that working with the Flames having to give permission.

Gallant makes a lot of sense, and would be the least controversial of the established/top tier coaches to hire.

It'll probably be Gulutzan for the rest of the year.

I don't think so. I think the only reason you make this move is to bring in outside help that the team needs. The Oilers don't have the time left on those Draisaitl/McDavid contracts to "wait and see". They need a heavy hitter and they need him now.
