Staying or Going? NHL Teams That Have Head Coaching Decisions to Make
With the end of the NHL's 2021-22 regular-season schedule on April 29 drawing near, speculation is already brewing over the fates of several head coaches.
On April 2, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek observed that 11 coaches are either coming to the end of their contracts or are currently employed on an interim basis. Since then, the Anaheim Ducks announced they're picking up the option year in Dallas Eakins' contract.
The Dallas Stars' Rick Bowness and the Nashville Predator's John Hynes are among those with an expiring contract. The Florida Panthers' Andrew Brunette and the Montreal Canadiens' Martin St. Louis belong to the interim coaching group.
