Elliotte Friedman was on Toronto’s Sportsnet 590 on Friday morning.

On the Ottawa Senators:

“Bruce Boudreau interviews in Ottawa today, and if that goes well, he’s probably the guy.”

On Eric Francis having told 590 Hartley was a shoo-in for that job:

“I don’t know. I think if Bryan Murray was the general manager still, that might be the case. I’m not sure Pierre Dorion feels as strongly about Bob Hartley as Bryan Murray did.

“My guess is that if the Boudreau thing goes well, and they can agree on a contract – that’s going to be the big one there – he has the inside track.

“If it doesn’t go well, then I think Hartley enters the picture there.”

The conversation also included an anecdote from early in the Mike Fisher –Carrie Underwood relationship, if San Jose can still close out Nashville, Tyler Seguin’s injury ,the shift in perception surrounding Jonathan Drouin, what happens if the Capitals lose this series to the Penguins, and John Chayka’s hire in Arizona.

On Thursday night, Friedman noted this:

“It’s been well-known that Boudreau is going to interview in Ottawa. He’s interested in going there. His daughter lives there. His granddaughter lives there. He will interview tomorrow.”
