Head coach Guy Boucher will meet with general manager Pierre Dorion Monday to discuss how the club will rebound from a disappointing regular season.

"It’s a conversation for the next step," Dorion said Saturday afternoon on Sportsnet, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia. "We knew we weren’t going to be in the playoffs for a long time, we decided to have an evaluation top-to-bottom of our hockey team."

At the conclusion of the campaign, Dorion did not confirm whether or not Boucher will be back behind the bench come training camp, saying "if" Boucher returns, he'll have to put younger players in the lineup and increase practice time.

Now that the dust has settled, it's time to see where they stand.

"Guy’s a very good coach," Dorion said. "He did a tremendous job last year. Even this year I thought he did a very good job, but at the same time we have to evaluate everyone. We’re going to sit down with Guy. When we had a meeting with the coaches, we probably did a bit more of the talking. This time we’re going to let Guy explain how can we be better moving forward."

One year after advancing to the Eastern Conference finals, the Senators finished 30th in the overall standings.
