I'd like to see Bruce Boudreau end up in Ottawa.
I know they've been a graveyard for coaches in recent years but I think Boudreau can be the guy to buck the trend.
He has won eight division titles in eight full seasons as an NHL coach and, while that's probably a stretch for the Senators next season, I think he could maximize what they have there.
Boudreau has a very structured system, which should help the Sens with their defensive deficiencies, but at the same time he doesn't bleed players dry of their offense and will let his stars be stars rather than trying to change them. I think he'd be perfect for Erik Karlsson and some of the top players in Ottawa.
Maybe a better job will open up following the playoffs but I think he'd be really good in Ottawa and would like to see the kind of impact he can make on that team.

Colorado, but since Patrick Roy seems to be their boy there that probably will not happen.
Just feel like the Avs are a team that have a lot of firepower but do not know how to use it in transition. If Boudreau is good at anything, it is getting his team to play good transitional hockey without getting murdered in the defensive end. He is also noted as a good coach for young players, which is what the majority of the Avs nucleus still is.
