The NHL coaching carousel has gained momentum as three head coaches have been dismissed within a few days. The Seattle Kraken are parting ways with Dan Bylsma after a single season, having finished with a disappointing 35-41-6 record and missing the playoffs. General Manager Ron Francis emphasized the need for a different direction as they search for their third head coach in franchise history.

In addition to Bylsma's exit, the New York Rangers fired Peter Laviolette following a season where the team had playoff expectations but ultimately fell short, finishing with a 94-59-11 record over two seasons. General Manager Chris Drury praised Laviolette’s professionalism and contributions despite the disappointing conclusion.

The Anaheim Ducks also made a move, letting go of Greg Cronin after two seasons, indicating a necessity for change as they aim to develop their younger core into a competitive unit. With each team seeking new leadership, the coaching landscape in the NHL is shifting rapidly as the offseason approaches.
