Well, the NHL teams that I think would hire (or search) from the college ranks would be Boston, Pittsburgh, and Anaheim. Los Angeles in my estimation would be a longer shot. The clubs that I mentioned all have superior (compared to other NHL clubs) connections with the college rank. Pittsburgh's Craig Patrick has tapped into great coaching talent before, and I think he will continue to do so when Eddie Johnston decides to step down... As for the B's, I think that Sinden will not look at far to find a replacement. I do think that Walsh would be a nifty fit for the Bruins (if he does decide to make that leap). It will be interesting to see what plays out.... brett
