Rumours were circulating earlier this year regarding Peter Laviolette, the head coach for the Washington Capitals. It was rumoured that the Capitals would be offering Laviolette a contract extension, at the time, the Capitals had a playoff spot, and it seemed that they might have been able to compete for another Stanley Cup. Since these rumours began to circulate, the Capitals have fallen in the standings, they are currently 6 points away from a playoff spot.
This is not the first time that Spencer Carbery has interviewed for a Head Coach vacancy. Last summer, reports stated that Carbery was the leading candidate for the San Jose Sharks coaching job. However, the Sharks hired David Quinn.
Carbery already has some experience with the Capitals, he used to work for their AHL affiliate. A lot of changes will happen throughout the summer, especially with the Leafs. If the Leafs cannot make it past the first round of the playoffs, the Leafs might replace Keefe next season.
