With the Caps and Todd Reirden having parted ways, the search is on for the next bench boss - so we’re taking a look at some of the possible candidates, what they bring to the table, and where they might come up short. Next up? The Habs’ interim coach, Kirk Muller.
Early Career
Kirk Muller’s decorated 19-year playing career began when he was selected second overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft... most notable for being the draft in which Mario Lemieux went first overall to Pittsburgh. He spent seven seasons with the Devils, racking up 520 points in 565 games before being traded to Montreal prior to the 1991-92 season.
