My god Wouldn't Tkachuk,Bennett and Ferland flourish under Sutter's system.
Would be crazy to see what he could do with this team.

Ok, stop it. I'm starting to feel positive about our team's future for the first time in 2 years. I don't want to be let down when we hire the 4th best candidate.

I think Sutter might come here just to coach Tkachuk, if there’s a player in this league that is the prototypical sutter player, it’s Tkachuk.

AV #1
Sutter....#2 but I feel this will be the owners taking it out of Trelivings hands.
next tier
Trotz, Ruff and Tipett. All respectable experienced coaches but kind of meh given what some of them have had to work with.
next tier
Peters and other guys.

Treliving next coach not you & Malones buddy the worlds most boring coach
Dave Tippett & please don't say he was a "good" coach for Arizona they sucked an annual lottery pick team under Tippett.
Last 5 seasons of non playoff garbage hockey under Tippett and that unimaginative trap BS. No we do not want!

Tim Hunter rejoins the flames as an assistant.

No, I probably worded that wrong. I meant Peter's would be the 4th choice and we'll likely get him over Sutter. I'd love to see what Darryl can do with this team.

Is it though? You have to agree at least that it's a good place to make a short list from, right?

With the situation in Raleigh starting to resemble "My Cousin Vinny" Viola's handling of the Panthers a few years back, I have a feeling there are a bunch of guys around that team that are looking for an out.
He may even take his chances without an offer.

Someone mentioned Dave Lowry in another thread. I’m ok with him. Peters is another good choice.

I kinda thought maybe GG made Cameron put Brouwer on the PP to piss people off. There's no way he let that happent as any sort of intelligent hockey decision, so that was the only real explanation.

At first I was all in for AV but I think D Sutter is what this group needs which is a stern hand. So my vote is Sutter. If it is Peters I am going to be very upset, tired of this losing culture year after year.

I wouldn’t assume for a moment that Darryl’s desire to come back here is a given. He was asked to resign by Ken King; he did not want to leave. He will need to be convinced to return. I also think that Treliving’s desire to manage a superstar coach, who was in his shoes prior to him, may not be too overwhelming. So, overall, these two factors are a strong force against having Darryl back. Going for it could be Darryl’s professional ambition to finish on a high note in Calgary and being closer to Viking.
I don’t really buy the ownership meddling conspiracy theories. Even if Burke tells Treliving whom to hire, I believe he’d rather quit, if it is against his choice. I really hope the pro’s of having Sutter here will outweigh the con’s for Treliving.
So, we do need the two star paths to align here.
