Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The Ottawa Senators have a list of traits they want to have in their next head coach.
- A teacher who will focus on the development and growth of each player on the team.
- A listener who encourages feedback from players and the coaching staff.
- A communicator who lets every team member know where they stand and what is expected.
- A tactician who brings structure and game planning that will enhance our rebuild.
Potential candidates could include Alain Vigneault, Brad Shaw (Blue Jackets assistant), Troy Mann (Belleville Senators), Mark Crawford, Joel Quenneville, Todd McLellan, Sheldon Keefe, Mike Yeo and Dallas Eakins.
