What coaches are in danger of being fired in NHL?

For now John MacLean is still the coach of the New Jersey Devils, but for how much longer? Let's take a look at NHL coaches on the hot seat and who might be a viable replacement for them if the change is made in the middle of the season. Usually an in-season change means that the replacement has to come from the minors or anyone who is unemployed. So, I will post the 3 top candidates for each team.

John MacLean (New Jersey Devils)
-Ken Hitchcock (former Stars, Flyers and Blue Jackets coach)
-Andy Murray (former Kings and Blues coach)
-Bob Hartley (former Avalanche and Thrashers coach)

Ron Wilson (Toronto Maple Leafs)
-Ken Hitchcock
-Andy Murray
-Greg Gilbert (Toronto Marlies Coach and former Flames coach)

Cory Clouston (Ottawa Senators)
-Bryan Murray (current Sens GM, so Interim basis)
-Andy Murray
-Kurt Kleinendorst (Sens minor league coach)

Brent Sutter (Calgary Flames)
-Ken Hitchcock
-Bill Barber (former Flyers coach)
-John Anderson (former Thrashers coach)
