Only about 175 days till the start of the new season
Lindy Ruff will not return as head coach for the 2017-18 season and the organization will immediately begin the process of hiring a new head coach.

Any word on Patrick and Fraser?
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
From the DMN
Nill said assistant coach James Patrick (in charge of defensemen and the penalty kill) will not be retained. He said assistant coach Curt Fraser (in charge of forwards and the power play) would get a chance to interview with the new head coach. Nill also said goaltending coach Jeff Reese and video coach Kelly Forbes would be back.
Not for sure Fraser coming back, but sounds like Nil is in between wanting him back and making sure the new head coach has his say. Patrick could have been coach in charge of tire fires, Fraser had to deal with the injuries, so maybe Nill feels like it wasn't his fault.
I thought there was a comment from Campbell after he went to LA that he never saw Reese, and goalies seem to die when they hit Dallas, so that is curious. See no reason to fire the video coach.....
