Yeah Gallants already short shelf life was also shorter with the Rangers. Something is off there.
When Gallant got the job, many thought it would not last for long.

Just a pure guess, but there might be some issue with their traditionalism, top-down leadership or maybe just some stuck habits. Unsurprisingly the older player like Trouba, Zibanejad haven't said anything.

edit: other option is that the players are just fed up with Laviolette and want him ejected bit like Oilers did to Jay Woodcroft.

From all of this, someone picks up their this season's Connor McMichael for a bargain price. He's another one of the guys Laviolette kept healthy-scratching without even having the courtesy to tell him why.

Good for him to speak up. Most of the vets on that team have been straight up garbage but Laviolette is well known for coddling his vets and there is no way he'd actually consider scratching them other than some 30-year old fringe NHL'er whose role is to be scratched.

Is Andersson, Kravtsov, Kakko and Lafreniere the worst 4 consecutive top 10 picks a team has ever made?

Kakko needs to be traded yesterday, what was he thinking throwing his teammates under the bus.

The teammates threw themselves under the bus, Kakko just was an eyewitness

I don't like Kakko's comment because he's basically trying to say he's been better than other players, throwing his teammates under the bus. I don't think that's something you say publicly.

Nah he's not a twat, just a humble & frustrated

He only talks about rangers mistreating him and not about others

Read the quote again?

"Haven’t been on the ice too much when [opponents] score a goal… I have not been the worst guy, but that was me out of the lineup.”
