Gallant contract details and next steps
Gerard Gallant’s new $3.5 million deal is likely to set the bar for both Rod Brind’Amour and Rick Tocchet’s next deals. However, the new coach’s first order of business will be to hire assistants.
When you look at Gallant’s recent coaching experience running Team Canada he worked with Mike Kelly and Andre Tourigny.
