Neil Graham, Alain Nasreddine and Misha Donskov are among the internal candidates to replace Pete DeBoer and become the next head coach of the Dallas Stars.

DeBoer led the Stars to three consecutive appearance in the Western Conference Final, but all three ended in defeat.

For the second time this century, the Dallas Stars players got a coach fired. Pete DeBoer just got Hitchcocked. On Friday morning, the Stars announced they dismissed head coach Pete DeBoer, who in his three-year tenure led the team to the Western Conference Finals each season.
