Right now - who is out there? Gallant, who outside of a phenomenal year with Vegas, has had a bad record? Boudreau, Laviolette - maybe, but they may also be looking at Seattle and Washington.

Gallant also coached the Florida Panthers, yes those same perennially terrible Panthers, to a 107 point season.
He's definitely a good coach, but has had some inconsistency which makes him less than the ideal choice.
