I think this is his “thing”, no? He gets players to buy what he’s selling. Guys play for him.

I just looked in my bedroom and Kristen Bell isn't there, so I don't know WTF you're talking about...

I think shelf life with him has something to do with wanting more say in the front office.
What other reason is there for him to be fired by two teams that he turned into winners, especially an expansion team that made it to the SCF in his inaugural year?

He definitely meddles. But we just committed to Drury in a big way and you have to think that came up.

I will say this: this is a solid A hire imo but he's going to have a player he likes too much and an effective player he hates for no reason. They all do.

The style wasn't the problem with Quinn.
That was all of the problems with Quinn. He lost the room. He was coaching like he was coaching a college team. He was making year 1 mistakes in year 3. He couldn't make in-game adjustments. He was stifling creativity for young players and giving questionable minutes to other players. He didn't play the 1st overall pick on the power play.
Quinn couldn't stop tripping over himself.

It won't be admitted and maybe it blows up but more and more each day I am glad Dolan stepped in and moved onto Drury.

The 411 on Gallant is that he has ability to get players to buy into a system and over-achieve. The downside is that he coaches on instinct and that tends to wear out quicker as the competition adjusts. People talk about the shelf-life and the belief is that it's not so much that the players turn on him so much as you can do the ra-ra routine for so long before the players start questioning the strategy.
That's where the crossroads comes into play. If he can bridge the strategic with the personal, his success will be the Rangers success and both can reap the rewards.

I'm really hoping he gets a chance now.
I took that as PP time and important situations. Not so much as total ice time.

Absolutely. I would imagine they have an understanding, but I also imagine there will come a time where Gallant might want to interject more and that might ultimately lead to what ends up with him saying goodbye to New York.

Gallant basically created Will Carrier and I've never seen him and Gauthier in the same place.

Completely agree. To the point about buy in I expect the answer is yes, and that is why I am happy with the hire. Gallant seems to be more of a motivator/big picture guy who gets players to buy in vs an x's and o's type of coach.
In my biased opinion based on incomplete information, the NYR needed upgrades in both of those areas last year. I think they will get a big upgrade on the former, the latter may depend on the rest of Gallant's staff and what Drury does to the roster.

Right? Like, it doesn't have to be a terrible thing. Play Morgan Barron too much.

I really did not the Gorton and JD firings. It just wasn’t right. But at the same time, they may have kept Quinn around and that would have been a monumental mistake. It is hard to tell though if moving onto a new coach was part of the plan for JG/JD considering Drury was the righthand man to JG, or was this Drury’s decision with pressure from Sather/Dolan. Hard to tell. But getting rid of Quinn and hiring Galant is a massive upgrade. They got the right guy in here.
Now go deal with the two drafts and the rest of the offseason. Make the forward group deeper and more difficult to play against. Get a quality veteran D (Oleksiak or Martinez), not Brendan Smith.
