Yup, you guessed correctly if you said the "Mullet Man" himself, Barry Melrose. Melrose, who coached the Kings for three seasons from 1992-1995 and lead the Kings to their only Stanley Cup Finals appearance in his first season as head coach, was hired away from ESPN by the Tampa Bay Lightning. Melrose had been an ESPN studio analyst since he was fired from the Kings in 1995. He replaces recently fired John Tortorella, who is being courted, ironically, by the Kings to be their next head coach.
