Where will John Tortorella coach next season? Disappointed by Vegas’ decision
John Tortorella, who led the Vegas Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup finals, said in an interview with The Athletic that he hopes for a new coaching position right away for the next season.
Tortorella would have liked to continue in Vegas, but the organization decided otherwise.
– I want to coach. I want to coach now. I don’t know if that will happen. I wanted to coach Vegas and I told them that, Tortorella commented.
Tortorella came to Vegas as a coach mid-season and now feels that the job was left unfinished.
– I would use the word “disappointed,” Tortorella noted about his feelings.
The experienced coach had a discussion with GM Kelly McCrimmon after the finals series.
Tortorella said he believes the organization has a bright future, even though the choice did not fall on him.
– He (McCrimmon) told me right away that Ryan Craig will coach the team next season. I said what I think about it. We had an honest conversation, Tortorella said.
