Tocchet to the Flyers makes sense from a nostalgia and personality perspective, but would he want to join a franchise near rock bottom with no chance to win in the near term? If I'm Tocchet, I'd pass and look for a team ready to contend.

Also, is Tocchet that different from Torts when it comes to playing and coaching style? Seem to have similar attributes, but I may be mistaken. Would seem odd to essentially replace a coach you just fired with a similar coach.
