Changes have been made around the NHL and four coaches are now looking for work. The Winnipeg Jets seem to be in a solid place with their coach but there is always room for improvement. Could one of these available coaches help the team? It’s been a unique situation with Kristian Vesalainen. He has been called up and then sent back down to the Moose for no obvious reason.
