Another piece of the puzzle?

By Rich Hammond on June 12, 2008 4:00 PM | | Comments (5) |

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

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?
