An associate is just a guy labeled as clearly the #2 guy, Ward for example was an associate coach. Playfair back in the day was an associate coach.... etc

I think this is a realistic option. I like the Oates suggestion, but think it is unlikely. I also wouldn't mind seeing Pittis get the call from the farm, before taking over the forwards and PP in Stockton he was also a skating coach.

Has 20+ years of NHL coaching experience. Not coaching right now. Last worked in Vancouver as an assistant to but had spend 4 years together with Ward as a coach in Boston.

I'm pretty sure Jarvis is a defense coach and PK guy, we'd be looking for a guy to work with the forwards and PP.
