Flyers rumored to have hired Michel Therrien for assistant coach

It is looking increasingly evident that Michel Therrien will be the new assistant coach of the Philadelphia Flyers. Yesterday, this tweet emerged from Renaud Lavoie, that fortunately I didn’t have to translate from French:

Michel Therrien is back in the NHL. The @NHLFlyers will announce that he will be an assistant coach to Alain Vigneault. Confirmation should come in the next few days.

This was later confirmed by Dave Isaac:

Dave is very well connected with the organization, and as a reporter more tuned in to what is happening at the regional level, the news coming from him seals its legitimacy.
