The Senators have scheduled interviews with Marc Crawford and Guy Boucher, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported in his latest 30 Thoughts column.

The Senators have already interviewed former Minnesota Wild head coach Mike Yeo. The team began their due diligence with an initial list of around 30 names, according to Friedman.

Eyes could also shift to former Anaheim Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau who was fired Friday after his team's Game 7 loss to the Nashville Predators on Wednesday.

Crawford and Boucher have both spent the last number of years coaching in Switzerland. Crawford has been with Zurich since the 2012-13 season - even having the opportunity to mentor highly touted prospect Auston Matthews this year. Meanwhile Boucher has coached Bern over the last three seasons.

Both coaches are expected to return to North America this year.
