Report: Tocchet to Meet With Bettman

TSN is reporting that Rick Tocchet was set to meet with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman earlier today in New York City according to their sources.

Tocchet apparently made the trip with Phoenix Coyotes GM Don Maloney.

So what would the purpose of the meeting be? Well to let Tocchet know if he’s going to be able to continue coaching of course:

The league had been waiting for its own independent report on Tocchet’s activities before being able to make a final decision on whether Tocchet is free to resume his coaching activities or is subject to supplementary league discipline. That report is now in the hands of the league.

If Tocchet did indeed meet with Bettman this afternoon, I’m sure we’ll know a lot more about his future by tomorrow morning.
