NHL coaching job not on Keenan's mind

Mike Keenan coached his team to a KHL championship this season, and he tells CBC.ca that a return to the NHL is not on his mind despite there being several openings for a bench boss.

"I actually never thought about it and I don't think about it anymore," Keenan said Tuesday. "People had an opportunity to hire me before and they didn't.

"I was out [of coaching] for about three years and doing TV, and when the opportunity to coach in Russia came along, I took some time to think about it and then decided to do it. They want me back, and at this point that's the only option I have.

"I'm too old to be sitting here worrying about if I'm going to get a chance to coach in the NHL again. I did not take the job in the KHL as a vehicle to get me back to the NHL. I know I can coach in the NHL, but there is no interest."
