I'm confident they'll be interviewing every coach they believe to be extremely promising. Burke whenever he scouts talks to both coaches of the junior, college or AHL team. The people Burke has talked with or worked with must be very comprehensive. Treliving is hard working and has his own huge network of connections as well. Between Burke and Treliving I think they have a pretty comprehensive idea of who should be talked to from college, junior, AHL and the NHL.

I'm not worried at all that they are overlooking anybody. It's almost impossible to guess who might be on their list or near the top of their list. We can see that from the media reports.

But yes McCrimmon does have an impressive track record with Brandon. Personally I'm not too concerned about guessing who they may or may not interview. I'm confident the search will be conducted thoroughly and that Treliving will settle on a promising candidate who he can work closely with and who shares his philosophy and vision.

Can't wait for the announcement frankly, I think it will be extremely hard to guess themes coach before its announced.
