After a story from Eric Stephens of The Athletic on the Ducks head coaching search suggested current Dallas Stars assistant Todd Nelson as a candidate, TSN’s Bob McKenzie confirmed that he would indeed be getting an interview with Bob Murray.
While the prevalent feeling amongst league executives is that Eakins is the presumed bench-boss-to-be in Anaheim, recent reporting has cast some doubt on that assumption. Lane Lambert had previously been confirmed to have an interview lined up with Murray, and now Nelson is the third candidate we know for a fact to be in the mix.
