AP source: Panthers Offer Coaching Job to Bob Boughner
SUNRISE, FLA.
Bob Boughner never made the Florida Panthers as a player. He's on the brink of joining them as their next coach.
A person with knowledge of the situation said Saturday that the Panthers have offered Boughner the job, and that some remaining details between the team and the former NHL defenseman should be worked out by Monday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been finalized.
Boughner would also be the fourth recent Panthers coach with ties to Detroit's former AHL team in Glens Falls, New York, the Adirondack Red Wings. Rowe and Gallant both played for Adirondack, as did Boughner. And former Florida coach Kevin Dineen's father, Bill Dineen, was a longtime coach in Glens Falls.
