Next Possible Rangers Coach

[GregSirico]

Quinn for the Win!

 

[Irishguy42]

And there it is

The holy trio hath confirmed, so as long as Quinn doesn't change his mind, we got our guy

The Bobfather, the Brooks, and the Holy Friedman.

Amen

 

[LORDE]

Quinn is my grandmother’s maiden name... I wonder if we are related????

A tweet last night said 5 years/$12.5M for Quinn

So basically this guy doesn’t really want the job told everyone this 2 weeks ago so we’re overpaying him to come here like he’s got a Cup on his resume even though he’s never coached an nhl game or had any real success anywhere.

What are we doing?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

2.5 for a head coach is hardly an overpayment.

If you buy that he didn't really want this job you're kidding yourself.

 

[Zibanejbread]

Not sure how I feel about this yet, if true, but hope it works out for the best.

Live look at Dolan's wallet:

Who cares about how much coaches are paid? It doesn't count towards the cap and they are hired to be fired.

Someone mentioned here when Quinn was telling people he was staying at BU, but maybe he was just telling people that until he got an offer

It's more likely that he was saying that to try and up the offer from the Rangers or perhaps it wasn't true at all.

What does BU pay Quinn?

 

[Irishguy42]

So I imagine Gorton gets off the plane stateside early Monday afternoon, and then immediately goes to MSG to sign the contract and have a presser?

Or it happens on Tuesday.

What does BU pay Quinn?

I have no idea.

If you cant find that info, that means that it isn't out there for public consumption.

Nonsense.

 

[SA16]

Pay him 10M/year for all I care there's no cap on coaching salary and the Dolan's don't have a budget for the team that would affect the cap

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

 

[Irishguy42]

So I imagine if he's coaching the Rangers, USA will look for a different coach for the WJC.

Jerry York

Veteran men’s hockey coach Jerry York – who has won five NCAA titles and is college hockey’s all-time wins leader – was credited with nearly $1.25 million in total compensation during the 2014 calendar year, including the payout of a longstanding deferred compensation plan that likely was worth more than $600,000.

York’s total compensation made him BC’s second-highest-paid employee in 2014, behind football coach Steve Addazio, who was credited with a little more than $2.3 million.

Boston College said in a statement issued by spokesman Jack Dunn that York’s deferred payments go back more than a decade and that the lump-sum payout in 2014 included the principal and investment gains over the term of the deferral.

York’s base compensation in 2014 was a little more than $490,000 and he received $30,000 in bonus pay, according to the new return.

His annual salary, excluding the deferred compensation payout, “is competitive within the marketplace and reflects his stature as the best coach in college hockey and one of the winningest coaches in the history of NCAA sports,” BC’s statement said.

Does Quinn make more than York who doesn't make that much compared to NHL coaches? York's base salary in 2014 wasn't even $500K.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

So the Rangers and Knicks both have the ninth overall pick, and now both teams have Davids as their head coaches.


Lundqvist is going to tear his ACL, isn't he?

 

[Kovalev27]

How’s it nonsense? Read the tweets. We’ve had to offer this guy sweeteners twice! He didnt want TO leave BU. And He’s done nothing to deserve it.

Only established nhl coaches get 5 year 2 plus mil a year contracts. Not guys from college.

What are you guys smoking

 

[Irishguy42]

Quinn is a feel good story on the personal side. No doubt he will use his new NHL ties and $ to help the charity scene.

Kevin Shattenkirk played for David Quinn at Boston University and Lake Erie

IDK, I guess Gorton really sees something in him. I would've been very happy with Sheldon Keefe or DJ Smith, but I can't say that I know much, if anything, about Quinn and his coaching style....other than he probably came highly recommended by Chris Drury.
