Dorion says decision on future of Sens coaching staff not expected until April
OTTAWA — Pierre Dorion knows changes need to be made, but the Ottawa Senators general manager won’t rush into any decisions concerning the future of team’s coaching staff.
Dorion made it clear the status quo is not acceptable Thursday morning in a post-mortem on Ottawa’s disappointing season. The future of head coach Guy Boucher and his staff remains unknown as Dorion said a complete evaluation is underway from top to bottom.
But Dorion said a decision on Boucher is unlikely to be made until after the draft lottery in late April.
Dorion said he believes Boucher is still a very good coach, but there are areas that need to be improved after a 30th-overall finish.
