The Devils might not have a coach, but the speculation certainly continued this week as to who may get the job as the Devils closed out their prospects camp today. Adam Larsson was signed to a 3 year entry level deal worth $925,000 per season. The Devils for the second straight day added some grit by signing LW Eric Boulton after inking Cam Janssen yesterday. Boulton scored a Hat-Trick against the Devils back in December in a 7-1 rout by Atlanta.
Lamoriello would not say what his plans are for next week and would not reveal if he was going to hire a coach next week. Right now Lou Lamoriello's focus will be to hire a new coach and sign Parise to an extension or a one year deal to avoid the dreadful arbitration process. The question now is, what will happen first. If not hiring a coach and signing Parise long-term is more important which it likely is, then most fans would be happy to not see a coach until Parise gets signed. But many indications are that Parise would like to know who will coach the team.
Based on all these recent speculation about the coaching vacancy, I expect a coach to be names sometime next week.
