A persistent rumble on the NHL coaching front is the Los Angeles Kings have their eyes on Eaves.
Eaves, the UW coach since 2002, has heard that rumor on multiple occasions, too, but said he’s had no contact with the Kings.
The Kings fired coach Marc Crawford last month after they finished last in the Pacific Division with a 32-43-7 record.
General manager Dean Lombardi has interviewed Mike Johnston, the associate head coach under Crawford, but reportedly is sorting through a list of other candidates.
