Joel Quenneville hasn't coached a game in the NHL since the 2021 scandal, and now that he's been reinstated, he would be back very soon behind a bench. What a bumpy ride it's been for former NHL head coach <a href='https://thehockeynews.com/news/former-nhl-executive-i-think-joel-quenneville-goes-to-the-front-of-the-list-of-every-team-that-is-looking-for-a-head-coach' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Joel Quenneville</a> over the last three years, as he was at the center of a massive scandal in 2021 that cost him his job. Now that he has been cleared by Gary Bettman to return to the league, he could likely find himself behind a bench a lot sooner than many people thought. Matt Carlson from The Hockey News believes there are four teams that could possibly be changing their coaches next and would likely look to Joel Quenneville to fill in. The coaches most at risk are currently for the Calgary Flames, Detroit Red Wings, Utah Hockey Club and Pittsburgh Penguins, as any early struggles right out of the gate next NHL season could spell trouble for those bench bosses. <a href='https://x.com/frank_seravalli' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Frank Seravalli</a> was the first to break the news back in July that Joel Quenneville along with Stan Bowman could return, and the Edmonton Oilers were quick to act on that with their immediate hiring of Bowman as GM. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/frank_seravalli/status/1807868189847511538'> </a></blockquote></div> Joel Quenneville is likely eager to get back behind a bench with a clean slate, as he still has that shadow casting darkness over him and really would like to turn the chapter into something new. He has an amazing coaching history and has been very successful, so it's no doubt that a team at some point down the road is going to take another shot at him, just like the Oilers did with Stan Bowman. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/CarBombBoom13/status/1807898436974289023'> </a></blockquote></div> Source: Blades of Steel <a href='https://www.bladeofsteel.com/nhl/news/joel-quenneville-linked-to-4-teams-as-nhl-comeback-becomes-real-possibility' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Joel Quenneville Linked to 4 teams as NHL comeback becomes rael possibility</a>
