CHANGES!!!

Seriously, this is GOAT offseason.

 

[NYR Viper]

Well at least they recognize there was an issue

 

[RGY]

Dont think McCambridge was bad or good. Didnt have the best collection of players to work with. But this was a move that was likely coming.

If there is one thing we can say about the current Rangers management team that cannot be argued, the status quo is not acceptable.

 

[Irishguy42]

McCambridge is an actually good AHL coach, so there must be something more to this. Or they just wanted a sweeping change in coaching staff.

Getting s*** done. Not wasting any time.

Sh*t's going down in Rongotown

All hail Jeff Gorton, the man with the masterplan

One would assume that if they relieved their AHL coach of their duties, they would have someone lined up to replace him? This isn't like they just didn't re-up his contract.

They may have a list of guys they'd like.

Good.

Maybe, but it’s possible that they want to have a search without being afraid of the word getting out.

Wonder if we could get Dave Hakstol to be the head man in Hartford. He did really well at North Dakota so he knows how to teach kids.

With AV being hired in Philly, is Scott Gordon possible?

No.

When they fired their NHL head coach right after his season ended last year, they didn't have someone lined up. Why would it be so likely for their AHL coach?

 

[duhmetreE]

Good. Do Ruff next.

Never trust a man named Lindy.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Thank god.

Glad they are realizing they need to make changes down there with good prospects coming into the system.

 

[Mac n Gs]

No tears shed here. I said it in the HWP thread that I don’t blame all of their ails on him, and I’m happy that they’ll be bringing in a new coaching staff.

If the Rangers are serious about this rebuild, they need to heavily invest in the off-and-on-ice products in Hartford. All good NHL teams have successful farm teams that they can rely on to develop and push their younger players. With the amount of prospects we’ll be bringing into the organization these next few years, it’s paramount that everyone is on the same page troughout the entire organization, all the way from roster construction to on-ice strategies. Drury has a lot of work to do.

Change is good, especially in this situation.

IDK. With St. John's he had two good years, two bad years, and a horrendous year. Comes here and has a "meh" season and a bad season. Overall 2 playoff appearances in 7 seasons.

I never thought he was bad. But, I didn't see anything special. We weren't especially organized in a tight system or playing balls to the wall. He seemed mediocre to me. A bit of a step up from Company Man Ken.

I think Hartford should have made the playoffs last year and should have at least competed for a spot this year (until we started to dismantle it).

They were doing well this year for a decent portion of the season, and then it went off the rails. Not sure how much that coincided with the up/down of players all the time between Maine and NY.

I agree that last year should have been a playoff year.

"Good" is relative, IMO.

I guess they wouldn't need to know, but one would assume if they know they don't want McCambridge, they have an idea of who they MAY want and see them as an improvement.
