  • Power Rankings: NHL Coaches in Their First Year with Their Teams
    Power Rankings: NHL Coaches in Their First Year With Their Teams Author : matthewzaffina NHL teams are notoriously quick to change coaches. Even talented coaches that oversee playoff squads aren’t immune to turnover. Last year, plenty of coaches got the ax: this year, plenty of new ones will get their first crack at the quest for Lord Stanley’s cup. But which coach will be the best in his first year with his new team? Here are our power rankings. 7. John Hynes, New Jersey Devils Hynes, who made his name as a coach for the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, has a lot to prove. His record in the minors is impressive, but he’s now the youngest head coach in the NHL. 6. Peter DeBoer, San Jose Sharks DeBoer is the former coach of both the Florida Panthers and New Jersey Devils. He’s had mixed results, but he’s also had to deal with some really putrid rosters. His 2011 run to the Stanley Cup Final with New Jersey is the highlight of his career so far. The Sharks hope he can replicate it. DeBoer comes into a bit of a leadership vacuum, so motivation will be key. This squad missed the playoffs last year, but is in win-now mode this year. It’s going to be a tricky job. 5. Jeff Blashill, Detroit Red Wings Blashill is 41 and getting his first crack at head coaching at the NHL level. He earned the respect of the organization by coaching the Grand Rapids Griffins, and he’s also coached in the college ranks.
