2015-16 Hartley Defense 203 points
2016-17 Gulutzan Defense 177 points

2018-19 Peters Defense 179 points with 8 games to go (will be 190+ at the end of year)
One coach believes in moving as a 5 man unit while two other coaches favour fast transition and have odd man advantages
Hartley did great with what he had, Gulutzan had arguably higher scoring defensemen than Peters. There's so many other things, but the total lack transition game and always having a D to D pass and give time for the other team to regroup was my biggest pet peeve about Gulutzan by far.
Gulutzan would play for Corsi and hope that Corsi will translate to winning, instead of playing well and aggressive, with Corsi being a side effect of great play.
Crazy stat : Flames had 53.5 Corsi in 2017-18 and the exact same 53.5 Corsi in 2018-19.
