There&#39;s talk Bruce Boudreau would consider giving himself a demotion and applying if it meant a chance to work with his beloved hometown Leafs. <a href="https://t.co/iuYKZw7DEj">https://t.co/iuYKZw7DEj</a>

Boudreau, 65, has been coaching pro hockey since 1990 and been in the NHL since 2007-08 running the bench for the Washington Capitals, Anaheim Ducks and most recently, the Minnesota Wild.
Throughout his career, he&#8217;s openly remained a Leafs fan.
This past year he was fired from the Minnesota Wild in the midst of his fourth year with the club. Wherever he&#8217;s gone, his teams have been relatively successful having posted a 567-302-115 record in 984 games.
Boudreau has been known for his defensive acumen as a coach and the former Jack Adams winner could be a great addition to Toronto&#8217;s bench.
The club announced yesterday that assistant coaches Paul McFarland and Andrew Brewer wouldn&#8217;t be returning to the club. McFarland is set to join the OHL&#8217;s Kingston Frontenacs as the clubs&#8217; head coach while Brewer didn&#8217;t have his contract renewed.
