Back in the Summer of 2013, the Dallas Stars were rumored to be in on former Vancouver Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault. The word was that Vigneault was the Stars’ top choice, but Vigneault instead signed with the New York Rangers, and the Stars ended up hiring former Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff.
Five years later, Dallas is once again in the market for a head coach following Ken Hitchock’s retirement, and Alain Vigneault is once again on the market. There’s no word yet as to whether the Stars will want to hire Vigneault this time around, but if they do, Vigneault will almost certainly sign with the the team.
