"Obviously, our goal in the future is to stay healthy and create more goals," Playfair said. "When you look at Ryan Howse and some of the other skilled kids Calgary has drafted -that's a direction the organization is looking to take as well."

In terms of development, Playfair cites undrafted defenceman Christopher Breen as one of the most improved players over the course of the season.

"And obviously, when I came down here, the goal was to earn the right to get back to the National Hockey League, like Scotty Arniel did. Like Alain Vigneault did. Claude Julien. Different guys have come down, reestablished themselves and earned that opportunity to go back up."

Would like to see Playfair get a shot in the NHL again, perhaps Jersey or Florida would be good. Minny seems to be zeroing in on Hitchcock. Playfair might be able to get some good results out of a young Florida team

I like Jim Playfair and I hope he gets his wish to become an NHL head coach. I am hoping Florida will give him a shot and let him handle the rein 100%. When he was a head coach here in Calgary, he didn't really have the full control of the team with Darryl Sutter in the background.

If he leaves, i hope the Flames will give Dave Lowry the coaching job in Abbotsford.

Hmm, I never thought about one of current coaching staff with Calgary becoming the head coach of Abby. Lowry might be a good chioce.
