He can't stay, unless it's like a max 5 year term. He just isn't in the window the flames are trying to approach to be competitive. Which definitely isn't now.

They want a prospect the flames are not willing to move currently.  
 
Buffalo has Calgary’s offer for Cozens. It’s fair and does involve roster players and picks. 
 
Backlund hasn’t been approached to waive but Conroy has engaged the camp of all players with trade protection. 
 
Rasmus Andersson has been asked if there is any changes to his 6 team NTC. 
 
Flames have engaged every team on Blake Coleman’s 10 Team 
pre approved trade list.  
 
Kadri Camp and Flames have dialogue. I’m told it’s Toronto or Colarado no thanks at this moment. 
 
Flames deep in negotiations with Zary, Wolf and Bahl.

Interesting. So reading between the lines, the deal you teased before with the gifs is NOT about Cozens

Disagreeing and questioning opinions isn’t the same thing as thinking people should not have different opinions
 
Some people when challenged including on their apparent biases react with anger and lashing out. 
 
Show me where I’ve ever said someone cannot have a different opinion.

Lots of teams had a chance to hire him and he finally got a head coaching gig by default and was given a chance by a rookie GM on a rebuilding team.

Ok. The Toronto Blue Jays have just as much talent in their starting lineup as the LA Dodgers. I mean if we are saying really terrible takes that's about in the same level as what Jiri said.

I don’t think it’s (entirely) lack of effort; Flames just don’t have foot speed or the eye-hand reflexes and sheer talent the Panthers do. And the Panthers work VERY hard and are extremely well-organized. They KNOW where someone is going to be…very few errant passes.

so far it seems like a good hire.
