Seeing they want an experienced guy who can crack the whip, I wouldnt be surprised if Boudreau goes back to Washington. He fits the bill.

Good point but some of those "experienced" coaches available, that they apparently want, make some good coin. Babs, Gallant, Laviolette. Out of that list I think Gallant fits.L K said:
This definitely made the most sense. Gallant was too players coach-y, Babcock was too Babcocky, Laviolette is just enough of a veteran ass to provide the push Washington seemed to want.
Wait was this the only coach vacancy left? Aside from Seattle of course. Am I missing another team?
I believe Dallas and San Jose both just have interim coaches at the moment. Bowness has definitely earned the full time job in Dallas, it just seems it's a matter of him confirming he'll be back. Boughner is likely keeping the job in San Jose is sounds like.
I can't really see anyone else firing their coach at this point... Boudreau wyd...

Maybe if Dallas wins he retires?? He's only 65 so probably not....I that means Boudreau is coming here! Of course the Leafs have to be interested but if they did in fact ask for permission to talk with him it would say they are.CarltonTheBear said:

I can see Pittsburgh potentially making a change, though I'll grant it's unlikely. The Jets and the Habs should probably consider changes, but I don't think they will this offseason.
Everyone else seems pretty safe.

Pittsburgh replacing their assistants but not Sullivan pretty much confirms he's at least starting their season as head coach.

Yeah, I forgot about that. Does indicate he's on a short leash, though. Good chance he doesn't make it through the 20/21 season, if/when it happens.

Zee said:Rick Bowness in the Stanley Cup final. I was in grade 12 when he was an assistant in Winnipeg with Dan Maloney. What the hell is going on?
I've been kind of cheering for Dallas because of Rick Bowness.
I'm actually not sure that he even wants the head coaching job permanently.

I don't see Julien or Maurice going anywhere. Maurice just signed an extension in Feb for 3 more years at 3 mill per. Claude has 2 years left at 5 mill per.bustaheims said:

Like I said, I don't think they're going anywhere, either. I just think those two teams should really be considering a coaching change.

Gotcha..I actually think St Louis should consider dumping Berube for that idiotic move of putting Biddington back in net for game 7 when he clearly sucked. It was an idiotic move and probably cost St Louis the seires.bustaheims said:

Kitchen is a longtime assistant of Quenneville's. Has replaced him behind the bench after Q was fired in St. Louis. Was fired out from under Quenneville towards the end of his Chicago days.
i.e. Kitchen did something pretty not good post-Bill Peters; Florida was originally willing to muzzle it. New GM is not about that garbage.

He'll probably just retire.herman said:
