5M easily and on a 2 year deal.

It feels right now like the Flames have to play perfect hockey, and otherwise every mistake ends up in the back of the net.

I made that same decision after Saturday's game. I'm not cheering for them to lose but if it's going to take them getting embarrassed until Treliving gets his head out of his ass then so be it.

Put me down for the entire coaching staff being let go. I don't think GG is a bad coach as far as his system goes but his on ice decisions are not good and I think he has lost the locker room. It does not help him he has two bonehead assistant coaches either but he brought them in so it is his own doing. We can't afford to throw away this year, make the change now. Anyone but Tippett.

Not that I want Tippett but why is he an automatic no? Atleast the team would play defence haha, I get it its boring hockey but maybe he can run a hybrid system?

He is an automatic no because not only is his system not suited for the Flames but he is not even a good coach. Everything about him is boring, just no!

About 5?

Babcock was easily the most highly appraised coach at the time of his hire, I don't see Darryl on that same level.

Then again, the Flames are desperate and I wouldn't put it past Darryl to squeeze them for a contract with a lot of millions for several years.

I'm quite irratated the "fire GG" thread - which was clearly ahead of its time - was merged with the fake news thread called "GG is a good coach"

Piling on Gultzan is low hanging fruit. It's scapegoat, mob mentality type stuff. I think that's why so many of our high profile members haven't piled on Gultzan and have avoided weighing in on the situation.

I think that if they were being completely honest even they would have to admit that this just isn't working. Truth is he isn't the guy to take us to the next level. Remember - that's how he was sold to us. Hartley could get us only so far and this bright, young guy with a better understanding of analytics would get us over the hump.

Let's all be really honest. It's okay to be measured and careful that's usually the best path but I think we all know that Gultzan is not the right guy for this job. He never really was.

Larry Fisher credible?? His Twitter Saying this was possibly GG last game as coach. Hearing Sutter, Huska and tippet as possible replacement.

I can't see the connection here although he does seem to be a real journalist. He covers the Kelowna Rockets.
