The Calgary Flames are looking to keep Bob Hartley behind the bench for a few more seasons.

On Insider Trading Thursday night, TSN's Darren Dreger said the team expects to agree on an extension in the "days and weeks ahead."

He's looking for an extension. The Calgary Flames are very much interested in extending the contract of Bob Hartley, so I expect the negotiation to get that done... in the days and weeks ahead. Both Hartley and general manager Brad Treliving needed a bit of time to get to know each other.

Hartley is in his third season as the Flames head coach.
