McLellan
Carlyle
Nolan

Probably:

Maybe:
Hitchcock
Babcock
Julien

And I'm sure there are a handful of assistant coaches and AHL coaches looking to get a foot in the door.

so many big names there.

wouldn't surprise me if todd nelson has to take an assistant job with oilers or try other teams
seems we are clearing house atm.
and I hear that the kings goalie coach is available or something?

Travis Green, Utica's HC might be available. I hop not, but it's possible.

I hope the abundance of former NHL HC might keep him in Utica.

Hope so, but he could probably find an AHC job in the NHL.

Will be guy boucher

from Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,

The Penguins aren't firing their coach or their general manager following a first-round exit in the Stanley Cup playoffs, president and CEO David Morehouse said Saturday.

“I know there's been a lot of speculation out there, but (co-owners) Ron (Burkle) and Mario (Lemieux) never once considered a change,” Morehouse said. “Jim Rutherford's our general manager, and Mike Johnston's our coach.”

Good. Neither deserves it. The team basically had 20m in wasted cap space due to injuries for half the season. If anything they need to get rid of some injury prone guys.
I know everyone loves Letang and thinks Pens would be crazy to trade him but he'd get a really good return and could really fill out the depth with reliable guys who don't miss games.

but then they have no good players

Fleury's been fine the last couple years. Pens just have too much cap invested in the front end, and they get beat when it comes to the depth game. Plain and simple, for the last 10 years depth has won playoffs. A hot goalie doesn't hurt but when it comes down to it, that goalie has almost always been helped by great guys on the 3rd/4th and 3rd pairing lines.



I'm talking mostly of Letang. It'd be a mistake to get rid of Martin but I think he'll ask for too much money. IMO they shouldn't give up on Ehrhoff unless their trainers think the injury will re-occur.
