Flyers GM Daniel Brière confirmed that associate coach Brad Shaw will not return next season, as Shaw was not willing to undergo the interview process again to remain on new head coach Rick Tocchet’s staff. With 21 years of NHL coaching experience, Shaw is a potential candidate for vacant head coaching positions in Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Seattle. Meanwhile, in the Metropolitan Division, Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour is uncertain about defenseman Jalen Chatfield’s status for the next round, while Capitals’ Lars Eller intends to continue his playing career despite a challenging season.
