No other changes are coming to their on-ice coaching staff this offseason. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/devils-considering-jeremy-colliton-for-assistant-coach-vacancy.html#ref=home Devils Considering Jeremy Colliton For Assistant Coach Vacancy June 7th, 2024 at 4:19pm CST • By Josh Erickson Keep an eye on former Blackhawks head coach Jeremy Colliton to join the Devils’ bench in an assistant capacity this offseason, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said on Friday’s “32 Thoughts” podcast. Colliton, 39, was fired as Chicago’s head coach in November 2021 after they began the 2021-22 campaign with a 1-9-2 record. He remained out of work for the remainder of the season but later joined the Canucks, serving as the head coach of their minor-league affiliate in Abbotsford for the last two seasons. With his contract up this summer, though, it’s unlikely he’s returning to Vancouver. He’s also been viewed as an outside contender for the Sharks’ head coaching vacancy, the last one remaining in the league. However, San Jose appears close to a decision, and he’s not the leading candidate. In New Jersey, Colliton would join a new-look coaching staff led by Sheldon Keefe, who quickly found a new home after being let go by the Maple Leafs. He’d fill the vacancy left by Travis Green, who was promoted to serve as interim head coach after Lindy Ruff‘s midseason firing and left this offseason to become head coach of the Senators. Across parts of four seasons with the Blackhawks, Colliton had an 87-92-26 record (.488 points percentage). They made the playoffs once in his tenure, winning their 2020 Qualifying Round series against the Oilers before falling to the Golden Knights in first-round action. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/devils-considering-jeremy-colliton-for-assistant-coach-vacancy.html#ref=home Edited June 11 by RWJC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
