And, shockingly, he didn't coach their AHL team last year. Amazing...but true! Todd Richards - a former assistant for the Sharks - is the guy.
Here's what Mike Russo has to say about him:
Over the past month, I’ve talked to scores of people who know and coached with Richards. He is an aggressive, up-tempo coach that fits the style Fletcher wants to play. As one NHL assistant coach who worked with Richards just told me, he’s going to coach the way he played. He won’t be a sit-back and watch coach, the person said. He’s going to activate his defense and go-go-go.
