The verdict is about to be delivered for Patrick Roy!
While the well-known Elliotte Friedman recently pointed out that the New York Rangers, one of the teams that contacted Roy for the head coach position, might make a decision this week regarding the head coach position, another team is also in the picture.
This is about the Columbus Blue Jackets and it's the team's GM, Jarmo Kekalainen, who himself mentioned that the announcement of the team's new head coach could happen as early as this week. (them too)
