from Craig Custance of ESPN,

Chiarelli met with McLellan in Prague. According to TSN's Darren Dreger, he'll interview interim Oilers coach Todd Nelson about the position this weekend.

It may be the most fascinating position available, simply because of McDavid and the high-end young offensive talent around him.

It's also far from the only one.

The Philadelphia Flyers, New Jersey Devils, Toronto Maple Leafs, Buffalo Sabres and San Jose Sharks all are searching for head coaches. It's possible St. Louis and Boston could be added to that list, depending on what happens with Ken Hitchcock and Claude Julien, respectively. And, of course there's the Babcock Watch, with Mike Babcock's contract expiring at the end of June unless he and the Detroit Red Wings strike up a new extension.

Babcock and Detroit GM Ken Holland have separate trips to Prague planned, but they will overlap and give the two more potential time together to bang out a deal.

It's a swirling world of speculation and rumors back in North America, with fans targeting the guys they want most, eager for any information that might confirm that guy is headed to their city.
