There’s no question that Sharks assistant Bob Boughner feels he’s ready to become an NHL head coach.
Boughner will get an opportunity to interview with the Florida Panthers in the next couple of weeks, and his name has been mentioned as a possible fit for the Buffalo Sabres as well.
Boughner, who just finished his second season behind the Sharks’ bench with coach Pete DeBoer, said last week he’ll meet with members of the Panthers organization later this month about its vacant head coaching position.
Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet mentioned Boughner as a possible candidate for the Sabres opening as well.
