Some Flyers news: I've heard that Brad Shaw -- who served as Flyers assistant and interim head coach -- will NOT be returning to the Flyers bench as assistant coach under Rick Tocchet.

Full story below, but my understanding is that it was Shaw's decision:

Brad Shaw did not get the Flyers' open head coaching job. And now, it's confirmed that he won't be staying on as an assistant under Rick Tocchet, either.

Can confirm that the Flyers are closing in on a deal to hire Rick Tocchet as their next head coach. There are still some steps left before it's finalized. But they're well down the road and it's going to happen.
