Report: Ferguson among candidates for Hurricanes' GM job

John Ferguson Jr. could be getting another shot.

The Boston Bruins executive is among four candidates to become the next general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, according to Sportsnet's John Shannon.

Ferguson has spent the last four seasons as the Bruins' director of player personnel, also doubling as GM of the AHL's Providence Bruins for the past two campaigns.

The Montreal native previously served as GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2003 to 2008, followed by six seasons as the San Jose Sharks' director of pro scouting.

Reports also indicate Buffalo Sabres assistant GM Steve Greeley has had multiple interviews for the position. Greeley is in his first season with the Sabres after a two-year run as the assistant director of player personnel with the New York Rangers.
