GRAND RAPIDS - Grand Rapids Griffins coach Todd Nelson goes into the offseason with the strong support of the players and uncertainty between the AHL team and NHL opportunities.
Nelson, with a year left on his contract with the Griffins and the Detroit Red Wings organization, has made it known he would like to coach in the NHL and his name has popped up for the opening in Dallas.
Last year, he was a finalist for the position with the Arizona Coyotes after the Griffins won the Calder Cup.
But Nelson, in addressing the question Monday after the Griffins were eliminated from the playoffs, said he won't rush into anything.
