Paul MacLean is about to get rewarded for his NHL award.

The Senators coach confirmed Saturday — fresh off winning the Jack Adams as the NHL's coach of the year Friday — he's had discussions about a contract extension with GM Bryan Murray and expects a new deal to be in place soon.

Heading into the final season of his contract, it's believed the two sides have discussed a two-year deal through the 2015-16 season. MacLean isn't the least bit concerned about getting something done, but is happy to have the talks and believes they'll be fruitful.

"I think that'll be something that will get done in short order," said MacLean when asked about a new deal.
