[News] Flames hire Dave Cameron & Paul Jerrard as assistant coaches

[Ashasx]

My only request is that Cameron doesn't create in relationships in Calgary like he did with Hoffman.

Probably kills my dream of Treliving sneaking in and trading for him.

Is Cameron responsible for that? Not rhetorical, genuinely asking. The Sen sorg hasn't stopped acting like clowns since firing him, and Hoffman is still taking them to arb.

Well he eliminated our special teams so I wouldn't be surprised.

Yeah I feel like that Org. is kind of a #### show for that right now.

Don't want to spend any money in paying any players not named Karlsson.

That may be correct, but Cameron was at the face of it when Hoffman was benched. Just not an intelligent move.

hard to tell. Gelinas is still at development camp. Likely he just gets moved into player development.

Can't recall the exact details but guys on the Fan960 last week (Pinder maybe) were heavily hinting that Hartley was in charge of the special teams. Sure Gelinas maybe had that title but they were suggesting he wasn't given much autonomy.

Wouldn't surprise me if Gelinas had the job of drawing up the X's and O's, but Hartley chose the players on the fly during the game. He seems to be one of those coaches who use PP time as a reward for players instead of a tool for winning the game.

This is correct, Hartley went full control freak and was running the special teams. A friend who is close to some of the players confirmed as much. They did not see eye-to-eye at all on the goaltending either, some heated year end discussions.

I give the Dave Cameron hire a big meh. Same as Gulutzan at this stage, there's nothing to judge either of them with this team yet.

The cheap thing is just a small part of it. Yesterday their Assistant GM ripped their 2015 first rounder for not being dominant enough in their dev camp scrimmage.

Defenseman Thomas Chabot was drafted 18th overall in 2015. And according to assistant GM Randy Lee, the 19-year-old did not have a very impressive development camp.
“I thought Thomas should have been a bit more intense, I thought Thomas should have dominated,” Lee told the Ottawa Citizen.

Any word on Domenic Pittis? Is he still in Stockton?

It makes sense to a degree, a completely clean slate, a fresh start.
