Now that Bruce Boudreau and Guy Boucher have landed new NHL coaching jobs, it's Mike Yeo's turn to be in demand.

The Calgary Flames have asked the Minnesota Wild for permission to interview him, the Star Tribune's Michael Russo reports.

Flames general manager Brad Treliving is serving as Canada's GM at the ongoing World Championship in Russia, and Yeo is one of the squad's assistant coaches.

Calgary fired head coach Bob Hartley last week.

The Anaheim Ducks reportedly received permission to meet with Yeo on Tuesday. He was also reportedly on the Ottawa Senators' list of candidates before they chose Boucher on Sunday.

Yeo was fired by the Wild in February, but the two-year contract extension he signed in 2014 doesn't expire until 2017.
