If Bruce Cassidy wants another coaching job immediately, he probably won’t have much trouble getting one.
In fact, one NHL team is reportedly already planning to talk to Cassidy, less than 72 hours after the Bruins fired him following five-plus seasons in Boston.
Buccigross: Cassidy's style wore out younger players
According to Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli, the Philadelphia Flyers are “likely to turn their sights toward” Cassidy as they look to fill their coaching vacancy.
The Flyers fired Alain Vigneault in December and finished out their disappointing season with Mike Yeo as interim coach.
Seravalli reports that the Flyers have already interviewed John Tortorella, David Quinn and Jeff Blashill, with at least Tortorella expected to get a second interview.
Other coaching vacancies around the NHL include the Chicago Blackhawks, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, Vegas Golden Knights and Winnipeg Jets. The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers both finished the season with interim coaches; it’s currently unclear if they’ll stick with Jay Woodcroft and Andrew Brunette, respectively.
It wouldn't be surprising if a few more -- maybe even most of them -- reach out to Cassidy soon.
