Report: Maple Leafs spoke to Guy Boucher; could be assistant coach candidate

The Toronto Maple Leafs might not be done hiring new coaching personnel.
After the team landed the long sought-after Mike Babcock, reports suggested they might have another hire in mind.
Boucher met with Leaf brass last night and today but Babcock's decision leaves Boucher in limbo.

The team reportedly spoke to former Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Guy Boucher about their head-coaching position, and though the job has been filled, TSN's Bob McKenzie claimed an assistant coach position could be on the table.
However, Boucher could be a candidate for a head-coaching job elsewhere, including the now Babcock-less Detroit Red Wings.
Boucher last coached the Lightning back in 2012-13, but was fired after 32 games.
