I think I'd go with
1. Laviolette
2. Boudreau
3. Up and coming coach (no re-treads, no 2nd chancers - a genuine up and comer - I'm trying to look around and see who would be considered one of these)
4. Gallant
There's something about Gallant that I don't like. The way it went in Florida and then his all of a sudden exit in Vegas (believe the rumour is Gallant is anti-analytics).
