I am also leaning towards Savard as head coach.
My reasoning is as follows:
1) Conroy mentioned the importance of having a tight GM-coach relationship.
2) Savard was a player in Calgary; he has a history here.
3) The current players just ran off a head coach. This may be the environment you want a rookie NHL coach to enter.
4) When Iggy walks into the system next year, he will have a head coach with whom he already has a relationship.
5) You can still promote Love and maybe not lose Huska. If Love gets the hea job I cannot see Huska wanting to stick around.
Also, IGGY would be a perfect fit for Conroy's old position. Keep him in a position where he can keep being the face of the franchise......till this franchise finds another face. You will eventually have to fire him if you put him in as a coach or assistant GM.

Great! Maybe he can swear at Huberdeau in French.
