Breaking news: John Tortorella is out as head coach of the Vegas Golden Knights just hours after their Stanley Cup Final loss to Carolina. The coach who saved their season, turned the franchise around mid-year, and took them all the way to Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final will not be back.
I break down whether this is the right call, what Tortorella did well and where he fell short in the Cup Final, and what this means for a Vegas franchise that now has no cap space, a roster that needs significant work, and no head coach heading into the offseason.
Plus, where Tortorella might land next, Toronto, Edmonton, and others are going to be very interested, and who Vegas might look at to replace him.
This is as cutthroat as it gets in professional hockey, and nobody does it quite like the Vegas Golden Knights.
