Canucks ask Leafs permission to interview Eakins for head coaching gig

[DetDannyWilliams]

The list of potential candidates for Vancouver’s vacant bench boss position is being assembled.
The Canucks have reportedly asked Toronto permission to speak with Dallas Eakins about their head coaching gig, according to CBC’s Elliotte Friedman.
Eakins, 46, has been coaching the Marlies since 2009 and is regarded as one of the AHL’s finest coaches. He took the Marlies to the 2012 Calder Cup finals and has posted a .632 winning percentage in each of his last two seasons.
A former NHLer with over 120 games on his resume, Eakins has ties to the Canucks organization. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2...-coaching-gig/

That's who I wanted for the Sabres job.

It's nice to see that teams are looking for new talent as opposed to just passing around the same old retreads.
