The Buffalo Sabres aren't just looking to rebuild at the NHL Entry Draft, where they're likely to select Jack Eichel.
The squad is also in the market for a new head coach and names have begun to surface for the vacant position.
Former San Jose Sharks coach Todd McLellan and minor-league coach Luke Richardson are among initial candidates for the position, reports The Associated Press.
The Sabres relieved Ted Nolan of duties as head coach on April 12 after a 23-51-8 season.
The AP also reports that Buffalo could be interested in Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock as well.
