In the time since the NHL regular season ended, there have been five teams that decided that a change was in order at the head coaching spot. The Carolina Hurricanes, Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators, Vancouver Canucks, and Washington Capitals either canned or did not renew the contract of the head coach from this season. Unsurprisingly, three of those teams looking for a head coach are also experiencing upheaval in the General Manager position, as the Hurricanes, Canucks, and Capitals will have a new General Manager starting next season, with the Hurricanes already having a General Manager in place, as Ron Francis replaced Jim Rutherford, who stepped down from the position. Of the teams looking for a head coach, only the Predators have a head coach in place, as Peter Laviolette will replace Barry Trotz.
