Sens coach Dave Cameron's contract close to done deal

Not only could Dave Cameron sign on the dotted line this week, he may also round out his coaching staff at the same time.

The Senators' coach has virtually agreed to a two-year extension that is expected to be announced any day now and Cameron have identified the man who will take over the vacant spot on his staff after the club lost assistant Mark Reeds to a battle with the cancer in mid-April.

League sources say Andre Tourigny, who resigned from his post on Patrick Roy's staff after two seasons with the Colorado Avalanche last month, has emerged as the frontrunner and as long as there is no snag in talks a deal could get done.
