We will start this with this caveat: this is a RUMOUR. Elliot Friedman of Sportsnet is hearing that the Flames are “trending” towards making Geoff Ward their next head coach. In this SN segment (go to the 2:51 mark) you will hear Friedman discuss what Calgary may be doing with their next head coach with the understanding that Calgary hasn’t said a thing.
Now, there could be a few different reasons as to why nothing is leaking from the Flames camp and they could be:
-there’s no truth to the rumour and the Flames are still testing the waters
-they are working on a contract
-Calgary is waiting for the playoffs to be over to make an announcement
Friedman is a credible source and there’s no reason to believe he’s getting bad intel or being led down the wrong path.
