Dallas Stars coach Pete DeBoer has been fired after three seasons with the team, getting to the Western Conference final each time but never advancing past that for a shot at the Stanley Cup.

For the second time this century, the Dallas Stars players got a coach fired. Pete DeBoer just got Hitchcocked. On Friday morning, the Stars announced they dismissed head coach Pete DeBoer, who in his three-year tenure led the team to the Western Conference Finals each season.

Taking over a team that's gone to three straight conference finals and has a locked-up core is a good opportunity. Who are the candidates?
