Probably but if Pete was such a fait accompli there I don't know why they haven't just up and hired him yet the minute Babcock took the Toronto job. Maybe waiting on Hitch/Julien too? Who knows :P

Hitch is already settled. He signed a one year deal today.

Only question mark left is Julian. San Jose seems to be going through a long list of guys (they even talked to Oates for some unearthly reason) and Disco Dan as well.

Yeah I know, but they weren't literally going to hire Pete two seconds after Hitch re-upped.

And technically Detroit's still a question mark though everyone assumes Blashill once they're done with the AHL playoffs.

I'd still be shocked if Pete is hired as an NHL head coach this offseason.

And I don't think Oates will be either.

I'm thinking the Sharks go with an NCAA/minor league guy for their new head coach.

I wonder if Andy Murray is interested in getting back to the NHL?

Well that'll be an interesting thing in San Jose. I can't imagine he's a better coach than McLellan but it's a new face so maybe that's the rationale.

Honestly I'm glad if he got a job it was the Sharks...it's a no lose in my book. Either he proves THE HYPE correct and win with a team I actually would like to win aside from us, or he flames out for good and we no longer have to debate how brilliant he is based off one playoff run in eight years.
