Next Possible Rangers Coach

[GoAwayPanarin]

I think that distinction goes to the Maple Laughs.

Nope.

They’re #2.

I think that distinction goes to the Maple Laughs.

In terms of team value or wealth of the owner? If it is the former, yes. If it is the latter, I don't know of any NHL owners that have more money than James Dolan.

*Edit. I thought Dolan was wealthier than he is. $5 billion is the number I got from the last credible article I can find. So yeah, maybe not.

No. 2

When is the official announcement to be made? Quinn seems like a solid choice.

Some people in this thread are very much coming across as entitled. The coach should want to be part of the Rangers so badly that he doesn't negotiate his salary? In what world does this make any sense?

The Rangers are a rich franchise and can afford to throw money toward a coaching staff that they aren't allowed to spend on player salaries due to the salary cap. So they use it to lure someone away who was happy where he was. How is this a bad thing?

I am so lost on these things, are there two colleges in Boston? What is the difference between them? Does both have the hockey teams. Sometimes its BU. Sometimes its the Terriers. Sometimes its BC. I don't get it.

there's actually 4.... BC/BU/Northeastern ARE ALL IN THE SAME Conference, and Harvard all meet in the Beanpot every third weekend in March over two weeks....

I am currently in HR as well and prior to that I ran a Home Health company where I made most of the hiring decisions. I can say that this is my experience as well. Good people are usually candidates for multiple jobs and therefore are more likely to receive multiple offers. Good people are also usually still employed and are more willing to ask for the moon, knowing that if it doesn't work out they still have their current job.

Side note, you say you have all of your certifications, do you have your PHR/SPHR?

I went the "new" route and got my SHRM-SCP. My PHR certification has since lapsed. I considered keeping them both but remaining certified for one is enough of a pain, and I feel like there's a gradual shift towards SHRM's offerings anyway.

UMass-Lowell is pretty damned close too.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

UMass-Lowell is pretty damned close too.

Lowell isn't Boston, which is what the direction of the convo, is eco., Lowell's been well documented professionally over how they handle franchises not just the Riverhawks....

This is gonna sound like a stereotype but for the last 25ish years or so the Rangers have had that flair for Americana. Whether it's drafting and developing American players, making them captain (think Leetch, Callahan, McDonagh) and a few American coaches here and there.

Either way Quinn seems like a good hire. The Rangers are in a rebuild and will need someone who can mentor young players. The only thing they need to do is just refrain from immediately firing him

All in all congrats I hope he's a good one

Dolan isn't actually the owner though. MSG Corp is the owner, and he's the chairman because he holds supervoting shares. When his family sold off all the equity in the business to the market they sold second rate stocks that didn't have any voting or control.

That seems like a technicality though...Dolan is the owner no matter what it says on paper

Dolan is #2, Ilitch is #1 for the NHL.

I didn't mean to say it was---just that it's very close in proximity.

I only started reading on the last page of the thread - and thought we had hired Pat Quinn



Glad to learn that's not the case....

It's absolute nonsense. No one is taking into account what his family and life situation is. As someone mentioned, maybe his wife has a great job in Boston. People acting like 8 year old fans who don't understand real life and just want all of their players and coaches to love the Rangers more than anything in the world. It's f***ing embarrassing is what it is.

That would be tough as he died 4 years ago.

Would still be a better option than AV.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

The vibe I'm getting from this group of fans is less about the dollar amount and more about "who does he think he is, and why do we have to convince someone to take this dream job he should be begging us to let him come here"

Without realizing that Quinn may have already had HIS personal dream job.

They had to ante up to pry him away. They really wanted him. Even if Montgomery was their first choice, it says a lot that they were willing to make this type of commitment over the tons of other qualified NHL/AHL/Europe/NCAA candidates.

Just because the NYR had to sweeten the pot doesn't mean Quinn doesn't want to be here, that's ludicrous.

 

[RangerLifer]

I think the Rangers' announcement will be delayed because of the Islanders' announcement of their savior Lamoriello.

 

[Kovalev27]

Quinn hasn’t done anything to earn that contract is the issue. Hasn’t won anything. Hasn’t proven anything.

Got a monster contract because we missed out on the guy we actually wanted and we had TO overpay because he didn’t even want to really come here.

If everyone is cool with a nobody dictating his terms or F off to the New York Rangers then fine

It’s like you make these ridiculous posts on purpose at this point.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Seriously, the contract shit is just whining and complaining for the sake of whining and complaining.

It’s unbearable.

 

[Polar Bear]

People complaining about the contract must not realize that there is no cap for coaches, right? There is literally no logical reason to be upset about it otherwise. If Quinn does not work out, then guess what? Dolan can/will easily just swallow it and hire someone else. Dolan is making a **** ton of money these days.

There is absolutely positively no proof that he was our 2nd choice.... prove me wrong and not with a speculative tweet.
