Sportsnet: Nick Kypreos suggests that teams have shown some interest in recently fired head coaches Joel Quenneville and Todd McLellan.
“Some NHL teams are inquiring about Joel Quenneville and Todd McLellan,” Kypreos said during the Headlines segment of Hockey Night in Canada Saturday. “I do know that you need permission to talk to these guys from their respective clubs – Chicago and Edmonton – but you can gauge interest indirectly through a third-party, and we believe that’s what’s happened with both of these guys in some capacity.”
Kypreos believes that there might have been some talk between the Edmonton Oilers and Quenneville before they hired Ken Hitchcock.
