I'm 100% OK with getting youngblood.
I was impressed with Seattle... Maybe Jay Leach? Clean up our defense. Would go a long way with Igor.
Warsofsky comes from the Carolina system. Could he implement it here? He was on a horrendous SJS team with a terrible defense but their PK was actually strong. He apparently the 'new best thing'. Only 35? or 36?

Watched the Blues EOS presser and Armstrong said many of his players cared more about getting a 30-second clip on YouTube that gets a million views than delivering max effort over a full game. His team’s entire season was one big Devils series and he blames selfishness and tuning out authority. But coaches can be toxic mean assholes and win, and also be a best friend and chummy and lose. IMO, it comes down to players.
I don’t care whom they hire. I want Panarin to reinvent himself and play relentless, and Kakko and Lafreniere to spend the offseason getting into peak peak form and grab those top-six wing spots and never let go.
Still blaming all this on Vesey’s shift in OT lol

Jay Leach

Montgomery ended up with the Boston job.
Leach had Carbery on his staff in Providence.
Leach doesn’t have NHL head coaching experience but he has coached at every level. He was an assistant for Sullivan. Head coach in the AHL. Assistant coach in the NHL.
Knobaulch has the Hakstol connection from Philadelphia. Maybe Leach can add Knoblauch to the Rangers staff.
Five candidates to replace Bruce Cassidy as Bruins coach
After firing Bruce Cassidy, the Bruins want a new presence and a fresh thinker to take over the bench. Here are five options.

I'm more than OK with Leach. We'd need an NHL vet to take an assistant coach job to add that experience. God please not Ruff.Jay Leach

Boudreau as assistant for the offense?> It was only a season or so but he revitalized all of Vancouvers offensive talent. JT Miller career year last season. Horvat career season this season. Petterson back on track with a career year this season.
That'd be a great start.

Agree this is type of guy i'd prefer, a rising younger (than ~55+) career coach with varied experience and succesful stints.

He's part of the Fenway's group looking to find a new GM for the Penguins. I think it's extremely unlikely that he's let go by PIT, especially when Crosby loves playing for him.

Brunette and Knoblauch aren't really too recycled. They're both young coaches. Knoblauch is only 44. I'd like to see him get his shot.
Mike Sullivan is basically in a management with Pittsburgh and just got a huge extension. It's so silly to read his name and Jon Cooper's here. Yeah, no duh they're clearly the class of the NHL, hence their teams' are not just gonna send them off to the rangers lmao

Mitch Love is another up-and-coming AHL coach in the AHL with Calgary's farm team, and they've been among the best in the league since he took over there. He has previous experience from the WHL in Everett and Saskatoon too. I'd imagine he's going to get a long look there to fill in for Sutter

I definitely want a group of younger modern coaches like this that adopt analytical stuff into their decisions.

I was a fan of the KK hire for Pack.
But dont feel he's earned an NHL shot yet.
Terrible stretch ending '22 season.
And this year, great finish, continuing in playoffs, but really it turned very late, they were a fifth place team anyway.
Lets see him coach an expected contender, to a contending season, to become a stronger candidate

If the priority is to give the young players a bigger role then Leach makes a lot of sense given his reputation

Knoblauch had good success in the CHL in both the WHL and OHL. It didn't hurt to have Connor McDavid on his Erie team for three years. He's been the Hartford coach for 4 years now and this year is the first time they've made it to the playoffs......and it took a late surge after Drury bolstered the Hartford lineup at the deadline bringing in Blidh, Lockwood, Clendening and Kalynuk. Even with that surge they squeaked in. That team is on a roll right now. Not sure I'd want to read too much into that. To me as an AHL coach Knoblauch's track record is mixed. I'd be more comfortable at least as of now in the Rangers new coach moving Knoblauch into an assistant's role than giving Knoblauch the head coach job.
Jay Leach's name has been circulating as a possible NHL head coach for several years now. Pretty much the entirety of the list above are NHL retreads. Messier has no experience. That's a disqualifier. If he's interested in coaching he needs to put in some work....not go straight to the NHL Rangers. If he was ever truly interested in coaching he would have done that already. The track record for any number of former superstars is not very good----Gretzky, Roy, Trottier, Oates so one shouldn't assume just because a player was a great player he would be great coach.

I'm concerned Ortmeyers leadership position in the player development dept has more to do with our Blue Chip prospects floundering than any actions by former head coaches.
Maybe Orts was good at getting the most out of lower round, less talented players. But teaching high skilled, elite kids how to "stick in the NHL" didn't exactly teach then how their elite talents could be tweeked to actually work in the NHL.
Let's face it. The guy was a less talented clone of Drury. Those guys have all my respect and imo are great coach material. But, they have no idea how to handle inherent special talent and how that talent translated to the speed and intelligence of NHL competition.
Loved Orts the player. I have my suspicions on Orts the player development coach. And I sure as heck have my doubts about Orts the NHL Head Coach, especially when we have these kids with very special talents that have yet to receive the proper training on how to deploy them at this level, and, a couple more in the next two years coming in that need the same coaching from an ex player who thinks the game at their level of talent.
1. Hire Sutter
2. Get all those NMC's waived.
3. trade the NMC's
4. Fire Sutter.
5. Profit
im joking... But am I?
