I seem to recall that Boudreau and Yeo were on the shortlist. Boudreau said after that he was never contacted, but he could have also been respecting the Flames privacy and didn't want to outright say he turned down Calgary for Minnesota.
I do find it conspicuous that Gulutzan was signed a couple of days after both Boudeau and Yeo were signed by other teams. Gulutzan was never mentioned as far as I can recall until the other 2 were off the market.
I think Boudreau's age is starting to be a factor for teams wanting a long term head coach. He'll be 66 before the next season starts. He doesn't seem to be a picture of health and with COVID around, it has to be a concern.
