Like, maybe the biggest reason gallant hasn't been hired is because he doesn't want the job?
"I'm a hot commodity in the NHL right now. I'm still being paid through 2021 by my former team, there is an expansion organization on the horizon run by professionals and I just had tremendous success with a different expansion franchise.
I know what I'll do! I'll go to an organization with a poorly assembled team full of coach killers that don't look like a solid bet to make the playoffs or do anything once they are there. The GM looks like he could be gone in less than a year and there are serious rumours that the team might be looking to trade away their best player.
Yes, THAT is the team I want to go to. Sign me up to coach THAT team."

Legit possibility. Which is sad.
