Which current assistant coach should be the next head coach?
This may reflect the reality that these coaches, Kirk Muller, Bob Boughner and Adam Oates are not far removed from their playing careers.
Muller definitely will be high on the list of vacant jobs for next season.
Boughner moved to Columbus this season after steering the Windsor Spitfires to back-to-back Memorial Cup championships and it will be interesting to see if Adam Oates gets a shot at coaching the New Jersey Devils next fall.
