John Tortorella, winningest coach in Blue Jackets history, nearing deal to become Philadelphia Flyers' next coach
Brad Larsen, an assistant during Tortorella’s stint with the Jackets, waslast summer. Larsen guided Columbus to a 37-38-7 record in his first season running the bench and the Jackets’ sixth-place finish in the Metropolitan Division surprised most analysts. Now, after lauding his experience working with Tortorella, he’ll likely match wits with his predecessor in the same division.
A source told the Dispatch the Flyers have offered the position to Tortorella, but the coach and team are working out details of a contract. Assuming they finalize a deal, it takes another NHL coaching vacancy off the table just one day after the Vegas Golden Knights hired recently-fired Boston Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy to replace Peter DeBoer.
Tocchet’s relationship with the Flyers from his playing career had some penciling him in as the next head coach in Philadelphia. The former head coach of the Arizona Coyotes spent 11 of 18 NHL seasons as a player wearing the Flyers’ uniform and logged 621 of his 1,144 career games in Philly.
