There have been several coaching changes in the NHL over the past few months. Yesterday, the Seattle Kraken also decided to make a significant change behind the organization's bench.
Dave Hakstol has been relieved of his duties. He joins the ranks of other coaches across the NHL who have lost their jobs in this challenging season for coaches.
Despite making the playoffs last year, the Kraken disappointed with a tougher season this year.
Moreover, with Dave Hakstol's dismissal, Martin St-Louis now ranks quite high in the NHL for longevity as a head coach.
