Per Darren Dreger, the Panthers are in the process of hiring Paul Maurice to be their next head coach...I have mentioned this name before as one of the coaches I believed would get one of these jobs...I believe the Panthers are VERY high on Paul Maurice and this means that Brunette could be completely out in Florida, or be kept on as an assistant...

This will be GM Bill Zito's first real head coach hiring, as he had inherited the previous coaching regime with Quenneville.

I can see Maurice and Zito working very well together..
