Dallas Stars Expected To Interview Travis Green

May 30, 2022 at 1:09 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 9 Comments

The Dallas Stars are one of the many teams looking for a head coach after Rick Bowness stepped away earlier this month. While the Philadelphia Flyers, in particular, have interviewed several high-profile candidates, some other interesting names have been rumored to be involved in the Dallas’ search. Rick Tocchet and Marc Savard have been linked to the club, and another name has now emerged.

Speaking with CHEK TV, Dallas owner Tom Gaglardi admitted that they expect to talk to former Vancouver Canucks bench boss Travis Green at some point.

I think we want to look for someone who is really commited to playing a bit more skilled, play a little faster, and we need to score a little bit more without losing our defensive identity. There’s a long list of coaches we’ll be talking to. 

I think Travis has proven that he deserves to be considered, and I expect we’ll be talking to him. 

Green, 51, was fired as head coach of the Canucks partway through his fifth season behind the bench but continues to draw strong reviews from many executives around the league. His overall winning percentage at this point is just .478, though he did lead Vancouver to a second-round appearance in the 2020 bubble playoffs.

Before his time in the NHL, Green served as a head coach in the AHL and won a WHL championship as coach of the Portland Winterhawks, going 37-8-2 with a powerhouse squad that included several future NHL players.

Though Green may be involved, Gaglardi once again suggested that this could be a long process with many candidates as they look for someone that can take the Stars to the next level. It’s now been more than two decades since the franchise’s only Stanley Cup championship.

    Dallas played Vegas in the western conference finals of the 2020 bubble season. Come on man…it wasn’t even that long ago.

    RE the actual news: Not impressed. Dallas should avoid the retreads and go after the likes of Ott / Savard – or bring Monty back ;)

      You’re right, the qualifying round sometimes throws my brain for a loop re: 2nd/3rd round. It’s fixed.

      Of course you also were not impressed with the Blackhawks hiring Joel Quenneville and the Penguins hiring Mike Sullivan because they were retreads. Please keep posting.

      Q is a HOF coach and exception to the rule. Sullivan waited 10 years between gigs…

      Only coach to win Multiple Cups with different orgs is Scotty Bowman.

      Travis Green who’s lost more games than he’s won isn’t a retread that should get another head coaching gig immediately. I mean ffs bruce boudreau got way more out of that roster than him.

    Why not Barry Trotz? He’s been mentioned with every other job.

      Did you read what Gaglardi said? They want someone to improve the offense and creativity. BTs Islanders teams were similar to Bowness.

    Condidering how much better the Canucks played once Green was fired, I’d hardly be looking at him as a solution.
