Everything indicates that within a week, we could have an announcement in Columbus regarding the new head coach of the Blue Jackets.
In addition to the Quebecois Pascal Vincent and the veteran Peter Laviolettea few other names have been circulating for some time, including that of Mike Babcock, who would attempt to make a comeback behind an NHL bench after being canceled following his hasty departure from Toronto. He is also currently the favorite in the race, according to some sources.
But a surprise name is now added to the rumors.
According to what the journalist reports Larry Brooks of New York Postwe should keep an eye on Sergei Fedorov as a potential candidate if Babcock does not land the job at Columbus.
The former NHL star was head coach of CSKA Moscow in the KHL last season.
It would indeed be a major turnaround if he were appointed to Columbus, but considering that the DG Jarmo Kekalainen has never been afraid to make these kinds of surprising decisions, so you really have to consider this possibility.
