Coaching Carousel News

So far this season, four teams have already changed coaches, and now, it looks like the Los Angeles Kings are ready to make that five.  Rumors are circulating that Terry Murray's days as Kings coach are numbered, and that change could happen soon.  Now, the question here is who would the Kings go after?  Recently fired Randy Carlyle could be seeing his unemployment checks end, as he would, and should, be given serious consideration.  After all, his former team, the Anaheim Ducks, did go in a dramatically different direction once they made the change, and certainly, the Kings would be wise to go in a similar direction.  Murray is not the taskmaster type that Carlyle was in Anaheim, and as a former player in the NHL, the Kings could use a voice that knows what it takes to win, and winning was what Carlyle did in his time as coach, as a 2007 Stanley Cup ring will attest.
