On Monday, the Nashville Predators fired head coach Peter Laviolette. The former Stanley Cup winner was not getting it done for a team with Stanley Cup aspirations, but some New Jersey Devils fans believe Laviolette is the answer for their coaching woes. Alain Nasreddine has done a fine job since taking over as interim coach, but he needs to do a lot more to take over the job full time.
We will have pieces looking into whether this is a good or bad idea coming up in the next couple days, but for now we want to look into other current NHL coaches the Devils should be paying close attention to.
