Stars reportedly interested in former Bruin to be their next head coach
During Saturday's 32 Thoughts segment on Hockey Night in Canada, Sportsnet insider Jeff Marek revealed that former NHLer Marc Savard is on the radar of the Dallas Stars for their head coaching vacancy.
"One person to keep in mind here as they begin their coaching search, and Jim Nill certainly has his list. One person to keep in mind here is on Dallas' radar is former NHLer and former assistant coach with the St. Louis Blues, now with the Windsor Spitfires of the OHL and that is Marc Savard. The Windsor Spitfires program that he handles right now, one of the top teams in the OHL, one of the top teams in the CHL, currently in the semi-finals playing Flint, lost tonight 4-3, albeit," Marek said.
He added, "He also coaches Wyatt Johnston, who's kind of regarded as the Dallas Stars' top prospect and someone who will be given every chance to make the Dallas Stars as soon as next season. I don't want to handicap where Marc Savard fits into this equation, but let's just say that he is very much on Jim Nill's radar."

Savard, 44, spent parts of thirteen seasons in the National Hockey League with the New York Rangers, Calgary Flames, Atlanta Thrashers and Boston Bruins, amassing 706 points over 807 games. Savard unfortunately had to cut his career short at the end of the 2010-11 season due to post-concussion syndrome.
