I may be the minority but I absolutely do not want Boudreau.

When Boudreau was fired in Washington, that team went through a long period of lacking an identity until they picked up Trotz (who is a great coach in his own right). The team got worse for a number of years after they got rid of Boudreau.
When Boudreau was hired in Anaheim, he took a team that missed the playoffs 2 out of 3 years prior and made them into a perennial playoff team.
Maybe those teams were considered good because Boudreau made them look good.
