There have been numerous speculations surrounding Rod Brind'Amour's future, as he is currently engaged in contract negotiations with the Hurricanes as his time as their bench boss nears its end. Brind'Amour is an experienced coach who consistently achieves success during the regular season but has struggled to advance beyond the second round of the NHL playoffs.
Despite his shortcomings in the postseason, he could be a perfect fit for the Seattle Kraken, who are in search of a head coach for the upcoming season. Brind'Amour has demonstrated remarkable consistency with the Hurricanes, never failing to secure a spot in the playoffs and always presenting his team as a formidable contender in the NHL. In contrast, since joining the league as an expansion team, the Seattle Kraken have struggled to maintain consistency. They have only managed to qualify for the postseason once and have exhibited volatility throughout the regular season.
