OK. We finally know — we know! — what happened with the Calgary Flames and their coaching staff. . . . The Flames dumped Mike Sands, their director of amateur scouting, who lives in Burlington, Ont., and Al Tuer, who the team relocated from Calgary to Vernon, B.C., three years ago. . . . The Flames held four selections in last month’s NHL draft, and they used each one on a WHL player. . . . Tod Button, the Flames’ director of scouting, Sands and Tuer were the only scouts left from the pre-Darryl Sutter era. That, of course, leaves Button as the last man standing. . . . As of late Wednesday night, the Flames had yet to acknowledge the terminations and photos of Sands and Tuer were still up on the team’s website. . . . Tuer is a former WHL player, GM and head coach.
