New Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet will earn $2.75 million per season through the 2024-25 campaign, according to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun.
Tocchet was officially hired by the Canucks Sunday after weeks of speculation finally culminated in the firing of Bruce Boudreau. Assistant coach Trent Cull was also let go on Sunday while Adam Foote was brought on as an assistant coach and Sergei Gonchar as a defensive development coach.
LeBrun notes the Canucks are still paying Boudreau his $2 million salary for this season as well as previous head coach Travis Green $2.75 million. Green and the Canucks reached an agreement on an extension in May of 2021 but he was fired in favour of Boudreau in December of that year. Last May, the Canucks announced they would bring Boudreau back for the 2022-23 season.
