Report: Stars have list of 10-15 potential coaching candidates

The Dallas Stars are casting a wide net as they look for their next head coach.

The club has compiled a list of potential candidates that currently has roughly 10-15 names, with no current front-runner, according to The Athletic's Craig Custance.

The list could be trimmed down to five-to-eight names over the next couple of weeks, Custance reports, explaining that the Stars are waiting for some AHL coaches to finish their playoff runs, and NHL playoff teams could produce some candidates as well.

Dallas reportedly spoke to Bill Peters about the position, but the Calgary Flames are expected to announce they've hired him Monday afternoon.

The Stars' vacancy behind the bench opened after Ken Hitchcock retired from coaching at the conclusion of the season. Last offseason, he signed on for one year.
