Bruce Cassidy said the move caught him by surprise: “The Bruins is basically tattooed to me. That's the difficult part. I feel I did my job. We can always get better, we can always be better (as coaches)…2019 still bothers me to this day. Did I still wanna be here? Yes."

Bruce Cassidy says multiple teams have already reached out about head coaching jobs. "I wanna get back to work. Hopefully it's a really good fit for both sides."
