Re: Spekulace
Možní noví trenéři, jak to vidí Heika:
Outside, Nill will have a long list of people to consider. Current veteran coaches without a job include: former Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff, former Toronto coach Ron Wilson, former Los Angeles coach Terry Murray, former Tampa Bay coach Guy Boucher, and former Edmonton coach Tom Renney. Renney currently is working as an assistant with the Red Wings, so Nill has a relationship with him. Another candidate who is familiar with Nill is former Detroit assistant Barry Smith, who currently serves as the director of player personnel for the Blackhawks.
Also interesting names to watch are Dave Tippett in Phoenix and Alain Vigneault in Vancouver. Tippett’s contract expires June 30, and he has not signed an extension with the Coyotes because the franchise still could move this summer. Vigneault is under contract in Vancouver, but there is speculation he might be fired after a first-round playoff exit this season.
Nill also could wait to see if other coaches are made available during the playoffs.
