The Arizona Coyotes have made a multi-year offer to Penguins assistant coach Rick Tocchet that will pay him upwards of $2 million per season to be the Coyotes next head coach, a source close to Tocchet confirms.
Tocchet is mulling over the offer and considered “likely” to accept per a source.
Tocchet emerging as a front runner to become the Coyotes new head coach was first reported by Darren Dreger of TSN.
Unless Tocchet can play third line center, who cares.
Bang on, I mean coaching has never mattered much… not like we have ever seen it in Pittsburgh as an obstacle lol
Hope he holds out for a better opportunity. Outside of Montreal, not sure there is another franchise more hopeless than Arizona.
i’m actually shocked that d cited a source
If it is true, inevitable. May hurt as much as Bonino departure.
Be smarter than this Tocchet, yes its a head coaching job but it’s Phoenix…
Then again, it is one of D’s sources lol
