Report: Travis Green on Ducks' list of candidates for next head coach

The NHL's coaching carousel could welcome in a new rider.

Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported Thursday on the "Headlines" segment that it's believed long-time NHLer and current Utica Comets coach Travis Green is among the list of candidates in consideration to succeed Bruce Boudreau as head coach of the Anaheim Ducks.

Friedman noted that Green has connections inside the organization, and Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province has since reported that Green has previously been linked to the job.

Green has completed his third season in charge of the Vancouver Canucks' American Hockey League affiliate in Utica. He guided the team to a Calder Cup Final last season.

He has one year remaining on his contract, which includes an out clause.
