From Glen Gulutzan to Dave Cameron, Brian Elliott, Troy Brouwer, and more, the Calgary Flames have been busy adding new faces this summer. But the offseason's most intriguing addition might be the one flying most under the radar: new assistant coach Paul Jerrard. While not the most recognizable name in the coaching world, I'm very curious about Calgary's new hire for a couple reasons.
Jerrard has flown under the radar for virtually his entire coaching career, in fact. Calgary will be his third NHL stop after stops in Colorado and Dallas. He worked for one year under, ironically, Bob Hartley in 2002-03 with the Avalanche and then spent two years on Gulutzan's staff in Dallas between 2011 and 2013.
