From the CP via TSN,
The Ottawa Senators are soon hoping to hire a new head coach but reports Wednesday that they had found their man were premature.
“I haven’t hired anybody at this point in time,” Senators GM Bryan Murray told The Canadian Press on Wednesday morning.
Reports surfaced Wednesday that Murray had hired highly touted junior coach Peter DeBoer from the OHL’s Kitchener Rangers.
“We’ve had conversations but nothing has been determined at this point in time,” said Murray.
Reports in question include Bruce Garrioch in the Ottawa Sun today.
Update 12:16pm ET: Adam Proteau at The Hockey News posted a similar report this morning.
