Which NHL coaches are getting fired after this season?
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/which-nhl-coaches-are-getting-fired-after-this-season-163525685.htmlThe Stanley Cup Playoffs begin next week, which means we’ve almost reached the point at which grown men pack up their offices and attempt to contain their seething anger in exit interviews with the media.
Yes … it’s nearly coach firing time!
Here’s a look at some of the probable and potential coaching changes in the NHL this postseason, which may or may not be influenced by a certain Detroit Red Wings coach deciding he wants to find a new challenge. And by “new challenge” we mean getting paid the gross national product of Ghana to coach somewhere else....
Todd McLellan, San Jose Sharks
McLellan is under contract for another year. If he decided to leave the Sharks, it would cost that new team a third-round pick. Granted, it would be worth a third to hire one of the best coaches in the NHL, and one assumes this was the last ride for McLellan and the Sharks, who missed the playoffs for the first time since 2003.

edit: "one of the best coaches in the NHL"?!
