Candidates, timeline are coming into focus for Penguins’ head coaching job

It’s time for the weekly update on the coaching search for the Penguins. As it was last week, it’s still been mostly quiet — as expected. Rick Tocchet is off the board, having decided to cast his lot with the Flyers. Kyle Dubas remains in Sweden with Team Canada at the World Championships, conducting remote interviews and going through the first step of the process.

One recent update is a few of the names in the mix, per Elliotte Friedman on his 32 Thoughts Podcast:

Friedman on 32TP says Mitch Love is high on the Penguins list for their vacant head coach position, others who have interviewed there are: Jay Woodcroft, Jay Leach, DJ Smith and Dave Quinn.
