After firing coach Dan Bylsma, the Seattle Kraken have promoted longtime general manager Ron Francis to president of hockey operations, with assistant Jason Botterill taking over day-to-day responsibilities.

Here are some of the names out there as another coaching search begins for the Kraken following Dan Bylsma's firing Monday.

The Seattle Kraken announced Monday that head coach Dan Bylsma has been relieved of his duties after only one season behind the bench. The move ends Bylsma’s brief tenure in Seattle despite having two years remaining on his contract, as noted by TSN’s Pierre LeBrun.
