Another piece of the puzzle?
There are conflicting reports out of Ottawa that the Senators are set to hire either Peter DeBoer, coach of the Ontario Hockey League's Kitchener Rangers, or former Ducks coach Craig Hartsburg of the OHL's Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. Both could be considered as potential candidates for the Kings job. Interesting, again, that if the Senators ended up hiring DeBoer, they would follow the San Jose Sharks in hiring a coach with no NHL head-coaching experience. Ottawa has also talked to Bob Hartley

According to TSN, Hartsburg is officially the coach of the Sens and DeBoer is going to interview with the Kings later this week: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=240543&lid=headline&lpos=secStory_main.

Kevin Dineen should be the choice for coach and Bagosian at #2 - my $0.02.
Strike that- DeBoer got hired by Florida.
So that leaves Dineen if we go with an outsider whose an AHL coach. Any others out there worth noting?
DeBoer and Dineen seemed to be the two. Anyone have some hard info on or experience of Dineen as a coach?
