I'm happy for Arniel, who is a former Winnipeg Jet and has done a great job with the Manitoba Moose the past 4 years taking them to the Calder Cup and being named AHL coach of the year in 2009. His teams in Winnipeg were always top 3 in goals against without sacrificing offence.
I'm still shocked that Boucher turned down the job, but it must mean he has another offer. New Jersey, Atlanta and Tampa Bay are the 3 other coaching vacancies in the NHL right now.
Craig Custance of Sportingnews.com has a great run down of some coaching candidates for the remaining 3 NHL jobs.
One name that isn't on his list that I would add is Gerard Gallant of the Saint John Sea Dogs. He has ties with Steve Yzerman and was named CHL coach of hte year this season.
