Details on Tortorella's Contract as Flyers' Head Coach, Cassidy's Deal With Vegas
Kevin Weekes broke the news today that John Tortorella has officially signed a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers. Per Weekes, Tortorella has put pen to paper on a four-year deal worth ~$16 million to coach the Flyers. As reported yesterday, it is also rumored that Tortorella was not GM Chuck Fletcher's first choice as Head Coach & that there is some disarray within the Flyers' ranks. The very fact that the organization went with a coach who wasn't the choice of their GM doesn't express a ton of faith in him, and rightfully so. All things considered, it seems like the writing is on the wall for Fletcher.
In other news, Weekes also disclosed the details on Cassidy's deal with the Vegas Golden Knights:
That is a really nice deal for Cassidy, who becomes the Golden Knights' third head coach.
