from Mike G. Morreale of the NHL's website,
Gerard Gallant is enjoying time with his grandchildren but wouldn't mind another opportunity as an NHL coach.
"I think people know (I'm available)," Gallant said. "I'm only 60 years old. They know I want to coach again so if the opportunity comes up, I'd be happy to. We'll see where it goes. I have no idea what's going to happen, but I'm enjoying my time home with my family now.
"I get a chance to go to Florida a little bit and also see my grandkids, so I take a lot of good in what happened."
Gallant is here to serve as an honorary coach at the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game on Wednesday (6:30 p.m. ET; TSN, RDS, NHLN), which features 40 of the top 2024 NHL Draft-eligible players from the Canadian Hockey League....
"I'm waiting, I'm hoping, you know, if something comes up," Gallant said. "Obviously, I'd like to be coaching again in the National Hockey League but we'll see. I haven't talked to anybody, and I'm not waiting by the phone. If the phone rings, I'll be very happy, but I'm not sitting, waiting."
If Newsie keeps not being able to get a team to play defense, Gallant may get his wish sooner rather than later.
