Eklund: Rick Tocchet will not return to Vancouver.

I don’t blame him.

Really don't get the hype around this guy.

Would you?
Yeah, I want to tie my future to a team with an 11 million dollar hole on the roster, a captain who's heart is in New Jersey and an ownership group that doesn't have the nerves to see a project through to the payoff.

Really don't get the hype around this guy.

A once coach of the year.

Phili has a job opening so the writing is pretty much on the wall. As a coach he should have managed the Miller situation better.

When he was first hired the talking heads were mentioning that Tocchet was brought in to hopefully get the Miller situation under control.

Something tells me it doesn't matter what coach you have at some point it was going to fail

Toc is a really good coach and Vancouver is a really messed up organization, why stay ? He will now get easy travel on the East coast with some really intriguing opportunities. He may be headed to Philly but wouldn’t it be crazy if he ended up in NYC or Boston ? Not out of the realm of possibilities!
