As we head into the Stanley Cup Final, six NHL teams remain without a head coach: the Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins, Vegas Golden Knights, Philadelphia Flyers and finally the Winnipeg Jets.
On a more serious note, former Red Wings player Sergei Fedorov is the favorite to become the next head coach in Detroit, as he is the head coach of CSKA Moscow in the KHL.
As for the other predictions, there is Claude Julien with the Golden Knights, Nate Leaman in Boston, John Tortorella as coach of the Flyers and finally Derek King with the Blackhawks. Note that Canadiens assistant coach Luke Richardson is third in line for the Chicago job, behind King and Jim Montgomery.
Of course, it is unlikely that all these predictions will come true, but it is interesting to note that Patrick Roy's name is still circulating in the rumours throughout the NHL.
