He definitely is the current leader in the clubhouse, jstew...

Chris Nichols @NicholsOnHockey
McKenzie: My sense of it seems to be if #Flames can reach satisfactory contract situation w/ Gulutzan, that 'he's the likely guy.' #Canucks

It's not going to be Rick Bowness (lol)

Tampa Bay Lightning @TBLightning
Rick Bowness has signed a multi-year contract extension with the #TBLightning to remain our associate coach.

former Torts asst Sully won the cup this year ... next year ?????? lol

amazing that all three from that 13-14 Canuck dumpster fire could be head coaches within two years.
(and one with shiny new ring)

Heath Brown (CTV Calgary) is tweeting that GG will be announced as the next head coach of the Flames as early as Thursday.

Kevin Woodley ‏@KevinisInGoal
Happy to hear Glen Gulutzan will be named Flames coach today; not only because he's great person but my SV% will go up @ Monday Night Hockey

Any word on what the Flames are willing to give up for G Fleury from Pittsburgh?

I haven't heard any rumo(u)rs as of yet from any of the real insiders (Friedman, McKenzie, LeBrun etc.).

Well since there won't be an expansion draft until next year who do you think the Flames are going to or should acquire?

I have to believe they will make a strong pitch for James Reimer, but I would like to keep the term to 3 years at most. Not sure if that is going to fly with Reimer's camp, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Do you believe Reimer can be the Flames #1 goalie & help them make the playoffs?

He put up some pretty good numbers with the Leafs, so if he can repeat those numbers in Calgary, it will be a big improvement in net and should put the Flames in the playoff hunt.

Nice to have that done (and glad it wasn't Carlyle that was hired).

They could've hired an onion ring after dodging the Randy bullet.

TBH, the whole process has been weird in Calgary. They fired Francis so far after the season ended and seemed to know what they wanted but they took forever finding that person. I hope they didn't just convince themselves that Gully was the right guy just because what they were really looking for wasn't out there.

Expect @monstershockey coach Jared Bednar will be under consideration in Calgary to join Gulutzan's staff. #CBJ #NHL

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

"Hi Jared, it's John. I've been monitoring you out on the farm there this spring and would really like to show you how to handle an NHL bench like I do."

"Uh, I'm cool. Thanks Mr. Tortorella."
