From the Regina Leader-Post,
The Leader-Post has learned through sources close to the situation that the WHL club has found its new/old head coach—Curtis Hunt. A media conference is slated for either today or Tuesday at the Brandt Centre to announce the three-year contract, which hasn’t yet been signed—but the sides have agreed to terms.
Pats GM Brent Parker couldn’t be immediately reached for comment.
....
Parker made a formal offer on the weekend and the deal was subsequently consummated—according to another source—after Hunt officially parted company with the Ottawa Senators, informing them that he wouldn’t return next season as the head coach of their AHL affiliate in Binghamton.
Not at all surprising, and he can’t be blamed for his choice, especially after the runaround he’s been through. Binghamton has been clamoring for the playoffs longer than Ottawa, and for signs that the farm club is on Ottawa’s radar. With a fresh start, the direction the Murrays take will be especially telling of what’s in store for the Binghamton Senators, and their rocky relationship as the Senators’ AHL affiliate.
