Coach Rick Tocchet is still on the lookout for furniture.
“Gotta find a table for my couch,” he said.
But when it comes to his job as the Coyotes’ bench boss, Tocchet is set for his first training camp at the helm after getting hired in July. So is his message, which underscores the process it’ll take to get the Coyotes primed to compete under the direction of a new voice.
“I’ve learned from experience you just gotta take your time,” Tocchet said. “You can’t do everything at once.”
It’s no secret how Tocchet wants the Coyotes to play; he’s hyped an aggressive, up-tempo style that accentuates the young core’s strengths ever since he signed a four-year contract July 11.
