Don Sweeney and the Boston Bruins are reportedly narrowing down their list in the search for a new head coach.
Speaking to Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald, Sweeney confirmed that the Bruins plan to have a new bench boss in place “well before” the 2025 NHL Draft in late June.
While Sweeney did not mention any names to Conroy in his ongoing search for a coach beyond in-house candidates in Joe Sacco and Jay Leach, he did drop an interesting nugget of information about Boston’s pool of potential hires.
“One interesting note on the coaching search is that when asked if he was still waiting to speak with any coaches still involved in the Stanley Cup playoffs, Sweeney said that he was not,” Conroy wrote.
