The Carolina Hurricanes are close to really picking up the quest to find a permanent solution at head coach, after the departure of Bill Peters.

The search is officially on now for the Carolina Hurricanes to find a coaching replacement for their former guy Bill Peters. He opted out of the final year of his contract with the organization that would have taken him through the conclusion of the 2018-19 campaign. Peters seems to have his sights set on the opening with either the Calgary Flames or the Dallas Stars.

The coaching search for the Canes begins with some candidates internally with the organization at this moment. It’d be great to see what the Canes could find from someone who’s already known and established with the fan base. However, the best options can lie outside of that realm of candidates too.

This roster could be ready to make a run to postseason contention as soon as next season. It’s not like whoever takes over in Raleigh inherits a team in a position like the Buffalo Sabres, Vancouver Canucks, or Arizona Coyotes were in last season.

Carolina has not bottomed out during the course of their long playoff drought. The team has been hovering around the playoff picture near the end of the regular season for the better part of the last eight seasons. Nothing has proven to work out in the end though.

Here’s the 5 best coaching candidates the Carolina Hurricanes could bring on board to replace Bill Peters leading up to the 2018-19 regular season.
