from John Niyo of the Detroit News,
Because there is a long list of possible candidates coaching overseas, and it stretches well beyond the names that probably are most familiar to Red Wings fans.
Sergei Fedorov just led the famed CSKA Moscow club to a KHL title in his first season as head coach, while Igor Larionov has turned from his work as an agent to coaching, first with the Russian national junior team and now reportedly with a new deal to coaching Torpedo in the KHL. I’m not sure how viable either candidate is here for a variety of reasons, including the geopolitical realities.
