Hakstol was passing up a lot of job security at North Dakota to jump to the NHL. So he did have leverage as it wasn’t a clear as day no brainer to make the jump for him despite it being a higher level & very likely paying him more on an annual basis.
There’s only six active coaches who are 3+ years in at their current teams. That’s not including Babcock who left Detroit as a pursued free agent coach. Those coaches are Bill Peters (Carolina, 4th season), Joel Quenneville (Chicago, 10th season), Peter Laviolette (Nashville, 4th season), Alain Vigneault (New York, 5th season), Jon Cooper (Tampa Bay, 6th season), Barry Trotz (Washington, 4th season), & Paul Maurice (Winnipeg, 4th season).
