He says the Vancouver coaching is better. Tkachuk said the same thing after leaving. If course they are probably telling lies and listening to them is just my confirmation bias.
Feel free to point out all the data I am ignoring which demonstrates the Flames routinely employ top notch coaches.

Hadn't seen that full quote. Thanks.
I've not said the Flames employ top not coaches. Anywhere.
My premise is:
- They have limited choice b/c they are not an attractive market for top coaches. Even if they pay up, coaches can choose better teams, in better markets, with better facilities and a better roster. Premiere coaches may also not want to go to an organization that fires the coach every 2 years.
- The exception to this was Sutter, but that was unique because he wanted to be close to the farm.
- You then have the element that the team is paying Sutter $3M NOT to coach this team. So there are probably budget restrictions in play as well.
- I don't think any of us can evaluate, yet, if Huska is a good or bad coach. We can observe players on the ice, but I'm not nearly qualified enough to judge a coach's systems and I'm not privy to how he manages the room or runs drills, etc. I just don't know enough to offer such a definitive conclusion that some of you are.
