Philadelphia Flyers Announce Tortorella's Contract and It's Pricey!
There are many amazing head coach options available in the NHL, a near all time high this off-season in the NHL and it's been in question- when do teams act and when do the coaches start going like hot cakes?
Well it seems as if it's started, Bruce Cassidy who was recently lied to and fired by the Boston Bruins came to terms with the Vegas Golden Knights and will be there head coach for next season.
Barry Trotz has been rumored to signing back to where he started coaching in Nashville..
And now John Tortoella has seemed to have found his coaching destination and that is in Philadelphia with the Flyers. The Flyers were a bottom five team last season and many put that ranking to blame due to their coaching as they fired head coach Alain Vigneault while they were going through a nasty losing streak.
Forcing the Flyers to have a interim coach for the meantime which fans were not a fan of.
Kevin Weekes reported that the flyers offered Torts the position, but now it's officially a done deal and he has accepted a $4,500,000 contract- comparing to the highest paid NHL coach in history around $6,000,000 per season..
