The Arizona Coyotes have announced that they and head coach Rick Tocchet have agreed to part ways.
Tocchet was in the final year of his contract. Like the announcement of John Tortorella yesterday, this is another situation where the writing was on the wall.
Pierre LeBrun reports that he expects the Coyotes to speak with as many as ten candidates. He mentions Lane Lambert, Nate Leaman and Rocky Thompson.
