The Vancouver Canucks are arguably the laughing stock of the NHL right now, and a recent stat makes them look worse.
With the latest debacle with Bruce Boudreau, who knew he was being fired but still coached three more games, the Canucks are now on the books for multiple previous head coaches.
Pierre LeBrun of TSN and The Athletic recently shared the full details:
''Hearing Rick Tocchet's salary is $2.75M per year, signed through 2024-25 season. Canucks also still paying Bruce Boudreau $2M this season and Travis Green $2.75M this season.''
Vancouver has now had six head coaches since the Bruins defeated them in the 2011 Stanley Cup final, including Alain Vigneault, John Tortorella, Willie Desjardins, Travis Green, Bruce Boudreau, and now Rick Tocchet.
