Bruce Boudreau is hiring.

The Minnesota Wild have informed longtime assistants Rick Wilson and Darryl Sydor that they won't be retained to serve on Boudreau's staff next season, Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

Russo notes that it's unclear whether Wilson or Sydor will be reassigned within the organization.

Elsewhere, Andrew Brunette is expected to shift from the bench to a position in hockey operations, while coaches Darby Hendrickson and Bob Mason have renewed their contracts.

Boudreau signed a reported four-year contract to coach the Wild less than two weeks after being fired from his post with the Anaheim Ducks, whom he guided to a fourth straight division title.
