Barely a week removed from the news that Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy had been let go, a few names are reportedly emerging in Boston’s search.
According to hockey insider Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet during the latest episode of his “32 Thoughts” podcast, the Bruins currently have at least three coaching candidates on the team’s radar.
The names Friedman mentioned were Jim Montgomery, Jay Leach and Nate Leaman. Friedman started with Montgomery, who has spent the last two seasons working as an assistant for the St. Louis Blues.
“I heard he’s going to be in the mix in Boston,” Friedman said of Montgomery.
