It’s time for another round of NHL rumours to start the workweek. Some teams are going through major changes while others are making small tweaks. There’s plenty to get through and we look at the possible timetable for the Chicago Blackhawks coach and general manager search. We also possible defensive moves involving the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators.<\/p>\n
All NHL Rumours are subject to change and are subject to change.<\/p>\n
Rumour: Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said the Blackhawks don’t have a timeline<\/a> for when they’ll replace their coach and general manager.<\/em><\/p>\n Analysis:<\/em> Chicago just fired Jeremy Colliton<\/a> over the weekend<\/a> with Derek King<\/a> taking over on an interim basis. The Hawks are 2-9-2 and have struggled after an off-season of bold moves. King did get a win over the Nashville Predators i<\/a>n his first game behind the bench. However, there will be some interested parties in that job.<\/p>\n The Blackhawks are also looking for a replacement for Stan Bowman after he resigned on Oct. 26. He and others were part of the fallout from the Kyle Beach sexual abuse investigation. Bowman had been the team’s GM since 2009 and with the club since 2001. Kyle Davidson is currently serving as the team’s interim general manager.<\/p>\n Friedman added that people will need to wait and see when those positions will be filled. He also noted that there’s no sense of pressure to fill the jobs quickly. The Wirtz family will likely take their time and try to install someone that will run a tight ship. There’s no shortage of candidates that want the high-profile jobs of coach and general manager.<\/p>\n Rumour: Nick Kypreos<\/a> appeared on Sportsnet 590 late last week to reveal that Leafs have made blueliner Justin Holl<\/a> available via trade.<\/em><\/p>\n Besides Travis Dermott, hearing that @leafs<\/a> have also made it clear to @NHL<\/a> clubs Justin Holl is available in trade discussions.
