They won’t name a coach until after the season. None of the three mentioned have to be hired immediately and it makes perfect sense that if any of them were contacted previously, that they would choose to wait and have this lost season finish, especially with our best forward and best goalie not likely to come back. Makes no sense to coach players in a series of totally meaningless games, especially when a bunch of them won’t be in future plans. An argument could be made that it would provide a new coach an opportunity to see what he’s got, but that is already blatantly obvious and I suspect Boudreau et al, already have a pretty good idea.
