From Connor McDavid to Jack Eichel?
Todd McLellan is reportedly a leading candidate to succeed Phil Housley as head coach of the Buffalo Sabres, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.
The Los Angeles Kings have reportedly also been negotiating with McLellan and appear to remain in the mix, McKenzie added.
Coincidentally, McLellan already planned to be in Buffalo this week for the Frozen Four to watch his son Tyson, who plays for the University of Denver.
McLellan previously served as head coach of the Edmonton Oilers and the San Jose Sharks. He owns a career record of 434-282-90.
The Sabres fired Housley on Sunday after two seasons.
