An NHL insider just revealed when the Boston Bruins will find out if Rick Tocchet is going to take the head coaching job or not.
The Boston Bruins are currently searching for a new head coach for the 2025-26 season after they ended up firing Jim Montgomery early on into the 2024-25 season.
There have been multiple candidates for the head coaching position in Boston, but it was revealed that Rick Tocchet is their main priority for the job.
Yesterday, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman released a new episode of his 32 Thoughts Podcast, and stated that Tocchet has been interviewing teams, rather than being interviewed by them.
Friedman also went on to say that he doesn't think that Tocchet is a fit in Boston, as they don't like to pay high for head coaches and Tocchet ended up rejecting a $4 million offer from the Vancouver Canucks.
Friedman on 32TP says it seems like Rick Tocchet is interviewing teams rather than teams interviewing him, he has a certain standard for which market he wants to coach in, but EF is unsure if Boston is a fit, Vancouver offered $4M, Bruins don't usually go that high for a HC.
Well today some new information has come to light. NHL insider Darren Dreger stated that the Boston Bruins, along with the Philadelphia Flyers, and Seattle Kraken are among the top contenders to land Rick Tocchet as head coach.

Darren Dreger also went on to reveal that Tocchet is going to land his next head coaching job this week.
According to TSN's Darren Dreger, Tocchet won't have to wait much longer for a new head coaching role. Dreger indicates that Tocchet will land a new gig this week, and the Bruins, Flyers, and Kraken have been the most interested suitors, similarly to Friedman.
Meaning it will be revealed soon if the Boston Bruins are going to land Tocchet as their next head coach.
