According to Rory Boylen of Sportsnet the Anaheim Ducks are interested in Vancouver Canucks AHL coach Travis Green to fill their head coaching vacancy.

Below is an excerpt from Boylen’s article, you can read the full piece here.

“According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, one coach the Ducks have shown interest in is Travis Green, currently with the AHL’s Utica Comets.”

“It’s believed he’s on Anaheim’s list,” Friedman said. “He played there, he played with a couple people who have good influence in their organization, Scott Niedermayer and Todd Marchant. Anaheim has three former NHL coaches in their organization, but I do think Green is going to get an interview here, too.”

John Shannon of Sportsnet believes that Green is ready for a head coaching job at the NHL level.

Any list of potential NHL coaches should include Travis Green. Has done a great job for Canucks’ AHL Team in Utica.
