General Manager Dale Tallon released a statement thanking Head Coach Bob Boughner and Assistant Coach Paul McFarland for their services for the past two seasons with the Florida Panthers.
Tallon implied that the coaching change was absolutely necessary and that the team must obtain a “transformative” head coach who possesses “Stanley Cup pedigree.”
Regarding Florida’s current head coaching search, it’s widely rumored around the league that the Cats are closing in on a multi-year contract with former Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup-winning Head Coach Joel Quenneville.
