Alain Vigneault was once a top candidate for the Dallas Stars coaching job until he took himself off the negotiation table.
Now the rumor mill churns, fully aware of history repeating itself.
GM Jim Nill has talked candidly about what he wants in the next coach for the Stars.
When asked, Nill clarified that the right candidate doesn’t need to have NHL head coaching experience, but they do need to have experience as a head coach at some level. That leaves a lengthy list with minor league, college, and junior coaches.
