[News] Hurricanes fire coaching staff

Uh-oh, the Canucks have some competition for the head coach position.

I hope they get left with the leftovers.

Doug Houda would be interesting. He was quite the goon in his playing days and has paid his dues in the coaching ranks.

Most of the established coaches have guaranteed contracts, some of the "lesser lights" can be moved into another possition.

It's all about the contract and you can bet Torts will get his money no matter what he does going forward.
