Report: Bill Peters spoke with Stars, but 'all signs' point to Flames

Bill Peters is not without options.

A day after resigning as head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes, Peters has been linked to two of the other three vacancies around the league.

The Dallas Stars spoke with Peters after seeking permission from the Hurricanes to do so, but TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports "all signs still point to Calgary at this juncture as the front-runner."

The Flames - who recently fired Glen Gulutzan - also reportedly asked for permission to speak with Peters. The Stars' vacancy was created upon the announcement of Ken Hitchcock's retirement.

Peters, who hails from Alberta, is currently preparing to serve as head coach of Team Canada at the IIHF World Championship.
