Bruce Boudreau's off the board; now it's the Calgary Flames' turn to make a move.
TSN's Darren Dreger reported shortly after news broke that Boudreau would be the next coach of the Minnesota Wild that Calgary is expected to "zero in" on their coaching search Monday - or a week after firing Bob Hartley.
Dreger notes that Randy Carlyle, the ex-Toronto Maple Leafs boss who of course has connections to Brian Burke, will receive an interview. Elsewhere, former Dallas Stars bench boss and current Vancouver Canucks assistant Glen Gulutzan is a "dark horse" said to be in consideration for an interview, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Hockey Night in Canada's "Headlines" segment.
Friedman notes that Gulutzan and Flames GM Brad Treliving both played their junior hockey with Brandon, but the two men did not play on the same Wheat Kings teams.
Speaking for Treliving, Burke told Sportsnet 590 The Fan in Toronto this week that the Flames envision a "black and blue" team, and presumably covet a coach capable of organizing such a roster.
