8 under-the-radar Bruins coaching candidates

Don Sweeney and the Bruins have plenty of work to do this offseason.

But the first order of business for Boston is to identify what bench boss is set to lead a reworked roster in 2025-26 and beyond.

The Bruins have no shortage of options — especially when it comes to candidates who already boast plenty of experience behind the bench as an NHL head coach.

Even with names like Mike Sullivan off the board, other experienced coaches still available on the open market include names like Rick Tocchet, Gerard Gallant, Peter Laviolette, John Tortorella, Jay Woodcroft, and David Quinn.
