It is worth noting that Joel Quenneville is a former coach of the Chicago Blackhawks, with whom he won multiple cups during their brief dynasty. However, following the Kyle Beach incident, Quenneville resigned from his coaching position with the Florida Panthers.
Despite this setback, it seems that Coach Q is eager to return to coaching in the NHL.
We all knew Joel Quenneville & Stan Bowman would get back into the NHL. It was never an «if» but «when» & it's utter bullshit.
There are hundreds of highly qualified people to be coaches & GMs in the NHL, but only the same 50-60 people are allowed to have the jobs.
However, there may be some hurdles that he will need to overcome before he can do so. At the end of the season, he is scheduled to meet with Gary Bettman to determine the next steps in his journey back to the bench.
While there is no information available on the specific requirements for his return, it is likely that there are several factors that will be taken into consideration.
Until he meets with Bettman and receives instructions from the NHL, Quenneville will have to remain on the sidelines.
