Former Chicago Blackhawks cup-winning coach, Joel Quenneville, may be making a triumphant return to the NHL after being banished for over eighteen months.
Dreger previously hinted at Quenneville's comeback being a "strong possibility" this offseason. As the second-winningest coach in NHL history, Quenneville's resignation from the Florida Panthers during the 2021-22 season, and subsequent removal from the league due to his involvement in the Kyle Beach/Brad Aldrich case, sparked the need for Bettman's approval.
