There have been multiple head coaches rumoured to be interested in the Boston Bruins vacant head coaching position, and now a trusted insider has revealed when they may name their next head coach.
During his end of year press conference, when Don Sweeney, Cam Neely, and Charlie Jacobs met with the media, they stated that they were already beginning their search for their next head coach.
Don Sweeney made it clear that interim head coach Joe Sacco would be in the mix for the full time position, but with how the Bruins played under him and all the rumours recently going around, it's hard to see him actually land the job.
Just recently, insider Frank Seravalli linked the Boston Bruins to former Edmonton Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft, and stated that he is a leading candidate to land the job in Boston.
Per Frank Seravalli on Morning Cuppa Hockey:
The #NHLBruins are in the mix for Rick Tocchet, who has multiple offers on the table.
He added that former Edmonton Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft is a leading candidate for Boston's vacancy as well.

Bruins Expected To Name Next Head Coach Soon?
According to Daren Dreger, Rick Tocchet is set to land a coaching gig sometime this week, or at least very soon, and he stated that the contending teams to land him are the Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers, and Seattle Kraken.
Strong indications this week Rick Tocchet will soon land another NHL head coaching job. Philly, Boston, Seattle believed to be among the top contenders. The Flyers want to be aggressive. Good fit.
If the Boston Bruins are going to land Tocchet, that means they are set to announce their next head coach soon. If not, it's unclear when they will announce their next head coach.
