TSN Hockey Insiders Bob McKenzie, Darren Dreger and Pierre LeBrun have the latest on the coaching vacancies in Pittsburgh and Vancouver, the trade market for the top three centres reportedly available and if P.K. Subban will receive an offer sheet in free agency. With Bill Peters being named the head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes, three coaching vacancies remain in the NHL. What is the latest news on the Pittsburgh Penguins opening? Dreger: Were looking at Willie Desjardins as potentially the next head coach of the Penguins. Now, Desjardins is a hot commodity, given his American Hockey League championship with the Texas Stars of the Dallas Stars organization. We know he was a hot commodity with the Vancouver Canucks, but I expect the Pittsburgh Penguins are the team that will land Desjardins. McKenzie: If Desjardins ends up with the Pittsburgh Penguins, some might consider that to be a blow to the Vancouver Canucks, where hes long been considered a candidate for their head coaching position. Keep in mind that John Stevens, who recently re-upped with the Los Angeles Kings, was another candidate in Vancouver. However, there are still lots of guys who general manager Jim Benning and president Trevor Linden have interviewed and are interested in. Mike Johnston, the general manager and head coach of the Portland Winterhawks, is amongst those who is considered to be a strong candidate for this job. LeBrun: Stevens would have had an interview - at very least - with the Hurricanes, Penguins and Canucks but he decided to stay put in Los Angeles, where he was promoted from assistant head coach to associate head coach. I spoke to Stevens and the one thing thats out there that he claims is absolutely false is that this promotion is not about a succession plan. There have been rumours that hes in line to replace Darryl Sutter as coach at some point in the next couple of years. Those are not true, according to Stevens. He stayed because he wants to be there and one day if he wants to be head coach, it will probably happen somewhere else. On the trade front, three centres are drawing a lot of attention. Amongst them is Joe Thornton, who has a no-movement clause. Would he willing to waive it? LeBrun: Joe Thornton has yet to tell the San Jose Sharks he wants to be moved somewhere. Right now, Thornton wants to stay in San Jose. Could that change by the end of the summer? I suppose it could before the end of the summer. In the meantime, teams who are intrigued are calling San Jose. Amongst those teams are the Detroit Red Wings. Thornton is from St. Thomas, not too far from Detroit but, again, none of that talk means anything until Thornton decides to tell the Sharks he does not want to be a part of the rebuilding plan, and that has not happened at this point. A lot of talk surrounding Ryan Keslers availability and the availability of Jason Spezza, who after Bryan Murray spoke at the general managers meeting, sounds like its a fait accompli hes moving. LeBrun: Once we get to the draft in Philadelphia it looks like things will really heat up on the Spezza trade front and on the Ryan Kesler trade front, obviously with first-round picks being involved next Friday night. The Anaheim Ducks are real wild card in all of this. We know they want another centre and they tried to get Kesler at the trade deadline in March but failed. The Ducks have talked to Ottawa about Spezza and have talked to the Canucks, again, about Kesler but the price is too high. I think the Senators would love to get their first round pick back from Anaheim, which they traded for Bobby Ryan, but I dont think Anaheim is willing to make that deal. McKenzie: Keep on eye on the Boston Bruins; they have surplus of defencemen. Obviously, Zdeno Chara and Dougie Hamilton wont be moved but Johnny Boychuk, Dennis Seidenberg, Adam McQuaid, Kevan Miller, Torey Krug and Matt Bartkowski, who are all NHL-caliber defencemen. Dont be surprised if they move one of those players for a forward. The Bruins are still looking to sign Jerome Iginla and whether that deal gets done or not will dictate their needs this off-season. Could restricted free agent P.K. Subban draw an offer sheet this summer? Dreger: Hell definitely be a prime target but it is hard to say that it is likely to happen. However, the longer the negotiation - or lack thereof - between Newport Sports and the Montreal Canadiens drags on will create a target for Subban from an offer sheet perspective. However, in saying that, there is no chance the Canadiens would not match and it sounds like the Canadiens are prepared in case of that situation. Ivan Rodriguez Jersey .

There was the infamous 18 wheeler in 2012 that saw them win just seven of their final 29 games. Then Game 7 in 2013. A year ago, it was 12 losses in their final 14 games. This season, a remarkable 10-1-1 stretch that had the Leafs sitting just two points off the Atlantic Division lead on December 17 has been followed up by a stretch of just three wins in their next 15 games, leaving them seven points out of a playoff spot with two games to go before the All-Star break. Daniel Winnik was not around for the first three collapses. He finished the 2012 season with the San Jose Sharks before spending the last two years with the Anaheim Ducks, participating in the playoffs each of those seasons. Despite the Leafs sudden disappearance of offence, Winnik has been trying to encourage the group to avoid giving up on their newfound defensive structure that interim head coach Peter Horachek has tried to implement since taking over from Randy Carlyle as head coach six games ago. I know it sounds weird with just one goal in the last four games but the way were playing really translates into wins, explained Winnik. The teams Ive been successful on, thats what they do, they play this defensive style. The offensive things are going to come and its going to translate into wins down the road. Horachek finds himself in a difficult position. Attempting to overhaul the way a team plays starting in training camp is one thing but doing so mid-season with a playoff spot growing farther and farther out of reach is even more difficult. When immediate results dont follow, the tendency is strong to stray from the message being delivered. The Leafs held opponents to under 30 shots in four consecutive games under Horachek - a feat never accomplished during Carlyles tenure – before slipping somewhat, allowing 42 shots against the San Jose Sharks and 33 against the St. Louis Blues. They are just 1-5 under Horachek. Times have never been as bleak though this season – even after 6-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres followed by a 9-2 defeat against the Nashville Predators in mid November - as they are right now. Coming off an 0-for-4 road trip in which they scored just one goal, its difficult to maintain a positive approach but thats exactly the message being delivered by the coaching staff as the Leafs get ready to host the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night. Thats always a concern, said Horachek, of frustration permeating the locker room. Guys kind of start feeling let down a little bit and feeling frustration, you cantt let that seep in.dddddddddddd. You have to keep them propped up and keep the attitude at a good place. You have to approach it like were coming home for a Game 6 in the playoffs; we have to have a little more sense of urgency. Dont give them any excuse; dont give them any reason to doubt anything. So far, even without immediate results in terms of wins, it seems like Horachek has captured the attention of his players. Petes a very positive guy which is really good, said David Booth. He demands from his players but within that message hes positive and hes not really getting on guys but just teaching us through it. I think guys listen when theyre taught in a positive manner. But now seven points out of a playoff spot, time is running out to get things back on the rails. As a team were not happy that we havent been able to get wins lately but I think were happy that were improving in every area except scoring goals, said Morgan Rielly. Were taking strides forward and thats the most important thing. I think we are improving, added Booth. Were upset with ourselves, you have to get results but I think over the course (of the season) the results kind of even out. Maybe we didnt deserve to win some of those games in December but maybe we deserved to win a couple on the road. After a brutal west coast swing, the schedule lightens up for the Maple Leafs over the next eight games, as they face just one team – the Nashville Predators – currently in a playoff position. If it hasnt been told already, more poor results against weaker competition over this next stretch will tell the tale on the Leafs season. Injury Updates Any upgrade to the lineup would be a welcomed sight for the Maple Leafs at this point but Peter Hollands return from an upper body injury suffered on December 31 against the Boston Bruins is not expected this week in either of the two games before a week long All-Star break. I dont expect to have Peter before the All-Star break so Im not really even paying attention to that until we get to the break, said Horachek. The injury has forced Holland to miss the last eight games. As for Leo Komarov, who suffered a shoulder-related injury on January 12 against the Los Angeles Kings that led to his absence the last three games, Horachek neither ruled out nor guaranteed his participation this week. I didnt know what Leos status would be, Horachek said as the team held off-ice workouts on Sunday. I was hoping once we get through today, he could give me something on whether or not hell be available for these next two games.
