The NHL Column: Best Available Coaches, Top Left Wings, NYI's Military Night

Filed under:

Since the NHL regular season is less than a quarter into its schedule, the New York Islanders' dismissal of Scott Gordon will almost certainly not be the last firing before the All-Star break. In preparation, The NHL Column canvassed top team executives around the league to learn the names of the coaches most qualified to be successors for the Islanders job and any others to open up. Let's break the leading candidates up into a few categories:

Ringbearers: Despite his struggles with perpetually rebuilding Columbus, Ken Hitchcock is the most highly-regarded unemployed head coach. The prepared, opinionated, sometimes stubborn Hitchcock has his detractors, but the Stanley Cup winner with Dallas will undoubtedly receive at least one more opportunity to run a team from behind the bench. With his Blue Jackets' experience as the only negative mark on an otherwise string career, Hitchcock will want to be selective in his next destination. While he probably wouldn't be offered the Islanders' job anyway, Hitchcock would have to think long and hard about whether another rebuilding, low-salaried franchise gives him the best chance to succeed.
