“Today we thanked Willie Desjardins for his effort and dedication while serving as our interim head coach,” general manager Rob Blake said in a release. “We wish Willie and his family nothing but the best going forward. The process for hiring our next head coach is underway and we look forward to conducting a thorough search for the right person to lead our team.”
Former Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks coach Todd McLellan is considered to be a leading candidate for the job. The Kings have reportedly asked Edmonton permission to speak to McLellan, who was fired in November with one more season remaining on his five-year contract.
