TSN: Brent Sutter to Coach Devils?

July 12th, 2007 by murph

Ex-Islander Brent Sutter was rumored to be a candidate for the Isles’ coaching vacancy last summer, but elected to stay with his WHL junior club. TSN.ca is reporting today that Sutter is going to step down from his WHL position to take over as coach of the Devils.

We wish Brent the best of luck…except when he returns to the Coliseum behind the enemy’s bench.

The Red Deer Rebels of the Western Hockey League have called a news conference for Thursday and sources suggest team owner Brent Sutter will announce that he’s stepping down as general manager and head coach.

NHL sources tell TSN that Sutter is stepping down from his junior club to pursue a head coaching job in the NHL and that Sutter is the odds-on favourite to be named the next head coach of the New Jersey Devils.
