Interesting. Reading the Boudreau article, he knows the importance of there being only 30 of these jobs. Also he spent a lot of years in the minors. If the offer is on the table then he's coming to the Flames imo.
I think one of the other younger names out there like Green, Keefe might get the assistant call.

Lowry was out of his depth. Didn't make adjustments and for much of the tournament didn't provide the bench leadership that roster needed.
Pass.

Dater is also saying that the Wild are pushing hard for Boudreau as well and do not want to get into a bidding war, hoping for a quick decision. On mobile so can't link to tweet

How about Travis Green current coach of the Utica Comets. He is likely to get a nhl coaching opportunity soon.
Ah noticed he was mentioned already.

I was fairly critical of Boudreau's post-season failures, but I would love if we brought him in.
As mentioned, Flames were:
League worst in GA... Anaheim was league best.
League worst in PK%... Anaheim was league best.
22nd in PP%... Anaheim was league best.
Tough to argue with the logic.

will be interesting to see Boudreaus decision. Obviously there's Flames bias here, but I have to think a roster with Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, Brodie, Hamilton and the 6th overall as the core players has to be enticing to an NHL coach. Minnesota is obviously a bit further ahead in their development and has a bit of an older roster, but might be an interesting option too if you think they're close. Ottawa ... no idea. They have some nice pieces but for some reason I don't picture them as contenders any time soon.
My guess is that if the Flames really want Boudreau, there's a good chance that he'll come.

Just a note on that, I remember hearing from a Friedman segment on 960 I believe, that the Ducks powerplay was actually struggling with Boudreau running it and he handed the duty over to Paul MacLean and some point during he season which prompted the turn around

I would actually go Calgary then Ottawa then Minnesota. I think the common belief is that the Flames are an up and coming team.
With Boudreau, he can also advise Treiliving if its worth going after Andersen or not.

Kitchen, Dineen, Hunter and Boughner are intriguing if the Flames are looking at assistants to promote to HC and not solely current HC'S.

Don't see Minnesota or Ottawa doing damage in the playoffs any time soon. One team is loaded with bad contracts, the other a bad owner.

Treliving very clear in his interview. Hartley decision was independent of anything going on with other teams. Took two weeks to evaluate things before decision made. Sounds about right with Treliving.
Treliving is a straight shooter so I take him for his word on this.
Boudreau firing is a total coincidence.
From Treliving's comments the search will be far and wide but not quick. Boudreau may lack that level of patience to wait out Treliving's process.
I think there is a very good chance we will end up with a HC that is new to head coaching at NHL level. Time to scour the various leagues for highly successful AHL HCs; CHL HCs or NCAA HCs. I wonder who has the best winning percentage in the three leagues over the past 3 seasons who also have great possession numbers.

This is out of left field but, what about Todd Nelson...  .... before you laugh check out his coaching records. He always seemed to get more out of the Oilers prospects then the big club could and he probably even has the Oiler stink washed from him by now.

Adrian Dater seems to be quite on top of the Boudreau "sweepstakes".

Minnesota Wild real hot after Boudreau too, probably more than Flames. Might come down to who offers most money/term

I don't think Boudreau will wind up in Calgary though
It's interesting that the Flames apparently already have an offer on the table. Whichever hiring "processes" the Flames have, they must be very fast. Treliving didn't give the impression that a decision would be made quickly.
Dater is making it sound like Ottawa doesn't want Boudreau to the same extent that Calgary and Minnesota do. He's giving the impression that Calgary and Minnesota have both made up their minds.
Are they already in a bidding war?

Yeah, I kind of knew that! Wasn't being serious.
Not sure who I like. I just hope whoever the coach is is that he has a bonafide number one goalie.

If I was Boudreau, I would choose the Flames over the Wild. Not factoring in anything but the current makeup/expectations of both teams, it seems like a no-brainer to me. The Flames are younger, have more potential and have room to grow. With the Wild, he pretty much needs to get 2016's version of the 2007-2013 Flames over the hump. They are a veteran, underachieving team that needs to win now. GM Fletcher could get fired next year if they are one and out again, where would that leave Boudreau?

Yeah, Minnesota doesn't seem like a very attractive option for Boudreau to me. I think it'll come down to Calgary and Ottawa, but it seems Ottawa might not want to spend the money like the Flames could.

Well first of all Dater is hardly an insider pretty much a Colorado Francis.
If Bruce is looking at the 3 teams the Sens change coaches every couple years it feels like. They have a decent team going forward but an owner that doesn't like to spend.
The Wild have an underachieving team that is not really going anywhere. Granlund has not really panned out and while Parise and Suter are good their other older players like Koivu, Vanek, Pommonville are overpaid bums
The Flames have a young core on the rise. I think they are the best long term pick
Money talks here though
