I think Benning is all but hired, probably waiting until the season is done before they announce.
If they are firing torts and have fired Gillis, I think they probably have a few ducks lined up already to replace them.

I dont figure that someone gets to be among the top paid coaches in the league if they arent in demand.
Just weird. I cant believe someone would agree to that in a long-term contract. Whats the point?

Never underestimate the power of bluster and arrogance to cloud someone's mind, especially a 'prove you wrong' type of mentality that seems to figure strongly in Tortorella's psyche.
It's the same thing Hartley took advantage of.
