Ducks coaching search has mostly flown under radar, amazing because I believe GM Pat Verbeek has spoken to roughly 468 potential candidates. But I can confirm 3 names on the list: Andrew Brunette (#njdevils), Spencer Carbery (#Leafs) & Mike Vellucci (#pens).

First solid list of confirmed candidates. No offense to Stephens or Dillman or Marek (Really Jeff?) but they were all just spitballing names.
He is certainly casting a wide net. 468 is crazy
I like that I didn’t see babcock or gallant or other old names
I can’t imagine interviewing 468 candidates. Oddly specific number for a “roughly” figure btw even if it is hyperbole
Holy 468 Batman… that’s a lot of darts thrown…
Do the Ducks really want a drunk as our coach? That’s not a role model at all.
Some are saying he even interviewed me
Sounds like he’s working harder than our defense
468? He doesn’t like to go by referrals from trusted sources? That’s like interviewing all coaches from AHL, NCAA, and tier 1 EURO leagues.
Pretty sure the 468 is a just meant to be a funny exaggeration for a lot.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Brunette as Ducks coach but I don’t know much about the guy other than he seemed to do ok in Florida. *shrug* I’d just like to see these guys be successful, I’ve always had a soft spot for the Ducks.
