Jeff Blashill the Next Red Wings Head Coach? We'll Have to Wait

DETROIT, MICH -- With the Grand Rapids Griffins now eliminated from the Calder Cup Playoffs, all eyes are now honing in on Jeff Blashill, the heir to the Detroit Red Wings head coaching throne. If you're like me, you probably want an announcement like yesterday, but that's not going to be the case in this situation.

Jeff Blashill still has work to do in Grand Rapids, he'll conduct all of the postseason meetings and interviews in Grand Rapids as any head coach would. With the scouting combine going on in Buffalo, it's simply not the right time.
