James Mirtle of The Athletic: In the past few months, the Toronto Maple Leafs asked the Minnesota Wild permission to speak with Bruce Boudreau. There hasn’t been a formal interview. Boudreau heard about the Leafs interest and people close to Boudreau say he’s intrigued.
Darren Dreger: Bruce Boudreau has lifelong ties to Toronto. He still wants to be a head coach and there could be some opportunities that arise this offseason. If he doesn’t land a head coaching position, he’d likely be happy to join the Maple Leafs coaching staff and would be an excellent resource for Sheldon Keefe.
