The Bruins are reportedly in the mix for one of the top NHL head coaches out on the market.
According to TSN’s Darren Dreger, there are “strong indications” that Rick Tocchet will soon land with a new NHL team. Dreger listed the Bruins, Flyers, and Kraken as the “top contenders” for Tocchet’s services.
Tocchet, 61, is a popular head-coaching target this offseason after he parted ways with the Canucks at the end of the 2024-25 season. Tocchet closed out his three-year tenure in Vancouver with a record of 108-65-27 (.608).
Tocchet took home the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s coach of the year for the 2023-24 season, leading the Canucks to a Pacific Division title and a 50-23-9 record.
