Bruce Boudreau is easily the top option to coach the Minnesota Wild

The market for free agent coaches just got halfway palatable. Move over Randy Carlyle, Marc Crawford, and um... Paul MacLean? Bruce Boudreau just jumped from the firing line to the top of the list of available coaches!

The veteran NHL coach- and former Minnesota Fighting Saint!!!! #OneOfUs- was just fired by the Anaheim Ducks after a roller coaster season. Many thought he would've been fired months ago, as the Ducks had a slow start that saw them sport the Conference's worst record through November 5th. But Boudreau overcame his team's start by excelling at an area that he previously wasn't known for: defensive hockey.
