Rick Tocchet may ultimately coach the Philadelphia Flyers. Still, reports are surfacing that his decision to leave the Vancouver Canucks was not related to him already having the gig in Philadelphia.

Rick Tocchet is leaving the Vancouver Canucks after two-plus seasons, and his name will feature prominently among the NHL's coaching openings. The Canucks didn't pick up the team option on Tocchet's contract but instead offered him a new one.

While the Canucks will have to find a head coach to replace Tocchet, this remains an all-in summer for Vancouver.
