Odds for Rick Tocchet to Coach Flyers, Favored for 3 of 7 Vacancies

The Stanley Cup Playoffs continues to clamor with Round 2 underway, but there are more than a few teams lined up in the coaching carousel.  

Rick Tocchet, recently relieved of his duties as head coach of the Vancouver Canucks, is joining the NHL on TNT crew during the playoffs, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll be out of a regular job long as he’s favored for the Flyers, Kraken and Blackhawks gigs.

Tocchet is second on the Bruins list, which the oddsmakers had some fun with by adding Ray Borque and Don Cherry as longshots.
