Will the NHL have a 'Julian Nagelsmann'?

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

So with all the hiring of veteran coaches and teams having rumors to the well-known guys like Q and TM, I was wondering...

Will the NHL ever have a shift in average coaching age and trend towards younger coaches?
For example, the Bundesliga has some younger coaches, with the youth movement led by Hoffenheim manager Julian Nagelsmann.

Will teams take gambles with younger, innovative head coaches like Hoffenheim did? Chicago seems to have taken this route with Jeremy Colliton, but will other teams follow? Will there ever be a head coach in their 20s? Who seems to be a potential candidate?

Arizona Coyotes took this approach with their GM, and I think Chayka has done a fine job so far.

The league is getting younger in terms of player age, but I think with coaching and management it can depend. I personally don’t care how old/young my team’s coach is as long as they are good at their job.

This has already happened. Paul Maurice was 28 when he became an NHL coach.

Well, Dubas and Chayka are already doing it at the GM level.

Exactly.

Heck, even Colliton was hired this past year at 33 which isn't far off.

more or less 35-37 coaches, turning around the teams.
This is NHL baby.
