Thanks to Kevin Weekes, we now know how much John Tortorella will be making as head coach of the Flyers. In a new tweet, Weekes revealed that per his initial sources, the Flyers will ink Tortorella to a 4-year, $4 million AAV contract.
He also revealed that Bruce Cassidy has signed for around the same amount at 5 years, $4.5 million AAV.
The Tortorella deal will kick in at the beginning of next season and run until the 2025-26 NHL season.
At $4 million, Torts will be making well above the league average which is around $2.5 to $3.0 million USD.
Also time to remind everybody that a coach's salary is guaranteed and if they are fired, they will still be paid for the rest of their contract.
