Recent rookie (or close to) head coaches through the NHL

Nothing is official - far from it, in fact - but from the way things are going, it sounds like the next coach of the Calgary Flames might just be somebody with a bit less experience. Not a retread; a rookie.

While we don't really know at this point in time just who is being considered - other than a bunch of people who really love pointing out that Randy Carlyle is being interviewed - it's certainly an angle worth looking at.

After all, Brad Treliving is one of the younger GMs in the NHL, and the Flames are a rebuilding, youthful team: why not go with a younger coach to match?
