NHL team(s) looking to make controversial hiring of ''black-listed coach''
Joel Quenneville is one of the best coaches in NHL history, leading the Chicago Blackhawks to 3 cups in 6 years, and one season having a very impressive .802 win percentage!
Quenneville was fired from the Florida Panthers after an investigation into the sexual assault claims that were made by Kyle Beach who was a former first round pick by the Chicago Blackhawks.
Andy Strickland reported that there is ''significant interest'' from teams in hiring Quenneville's services. Two teams who recently fired their head coaches were the Detroit Red Wings and Winnipeg Jets, who could both highly benefit from his coaching experience.
So now the big question is, will Commissioner Gary Bettman reinstate Quenneville?
During his coaching career he has a 969-572-150-77 record (Wins, losses OTL, draws) and sits second place in all time wins only behind the legendary Scotty Bowman.
Expect #NHL teams to inquire about hiring Joel Quenneville as their Head Coach. Hear he wants back behind the bench and there is expected to be significant interest in hiring the future Hall of Famer. Q will need to meet with Commissioner Gary Bettman to be reinstated.� Andy Strickland (@andystrickland) May 1, 2022
