As McKenzie reports, Boucher has had a meeting in Toronto with the Maple Leafs' leadership last night and today, as a possible candidate to be the new head coach. After today's decision in favor of Babcock, however, Boucher might still be interested in the job as assistant coach.
The 43-year-old Canadian, who used to coach the Tampa Bay Lightning, has still a year left on his contract with SC Bern. However, he is free to join an NHL team, if he gets offered a position, as he has an out-clause for this year. (rlu)
TOR flew Guy Boucher in from SUI yesterday, after 1st interview at World Championship, as a candidate to be new head coach of the Leafs.

Boucher may now be potential asst coach candidate for TOR but that would depend on Babcock wanting him and/or Boucher wanting to be asst.
