The 39-year-old former goaltender confirmed in an interview with Le Matin that there have indeed been discussions with the Flames and that he had spoken to head coach Bob Hartley last week: "A contract has not been signed yet, but the conversation with Hartley went well."
The interest in Schürch has a specific reason: Newly signed goaltender Jonas Hiller apparently wants to have Schürch as his goalie coach for the upcoming season and as designated number one of the Calgary Flames, he might just get what he asks for.
Reto Schürch has been the goalie coach of the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers since the 2012/13 season. He has one year left on his contract.
