He's had two seasons coaching a rebuilding team, and he's probably got about as much out of that roster as you'd expect and the young guys have taken a good step forward.
And this whole "no playoffs for 7 years" narrative you're throwing out there is pretty false man.
They made the Covid bubble playoffs. Then made the Canadian bubble playoffs (ahead of the Flames) and made it to the finals.
You can't just ignore those seasons and then say "rebuilding for 7 years".
Their rebuild started when Carey Price injury retired which was 3 years ago now and St Louis has been coach for only 2 full seasons in that time

They wouldn't have made the playoffs either of those years without covid nonsense...not to mention they had Price
Flames were terrible in the Canadian division, we all know it I have never said otherwise, and won more game than the Habs so if (ahead of the Flames) is the Flex its a low bar.
How on earth is St. Louis and underrated coach??
at best he is un-rated, he gets by on name recognition right now
Its okay though the more teams happy with being terrible and not improving the better...Montreal needs a major improvement in the standings this year IMO or some major changes. I promise you if the Flames are dead last in the division 3 years in a row I won't be making excuses to go for a fourth.
