It's possible, but unlikely.
Chicago, Detroit, Edmonton, Montreal, and Ottawa have all confirmed they're bringing back their head coaches for next season.
The coaches who were hired last summer are probably all safe as well.
That leaves St Louis and the Islanders as teams that might fire their coaches, but you'd have to wonder why they've waited this long if they were going to. If the Caps lose to Pittsburgh again, they might fire Trotz to bring in Vigneault, but I can't see any of the other playoff teams making a move (maybe Minnesota).
He might end up being the consolation prize for whichever team fires their coach early in the season.
