Who Do You Want to be the Next Head Coach of the NY Rangers?

[Kharon]

This should be easy...Jukka Jalonen

 

[Captain Lindy]

My true answer is idgaf unless Panarin is gone.

I agree. Panarin is an albatross in the playoffs and needs to go to a team that never makes the playoffs, like Columbus again or Arizona. I'm over his BS. If they hire Q it BETTER NOT BE to appease that loser.

 

[New York RKY]

For the people that want accountability and are pining for Sullivan, might I remind you that he is the same coach that consistently trotted out the corpse of Jeff Carter game after game.

 

[East Coast Bias]

It doesn’t really matter. This roster isn’t a fit for anything. It’s a mix of all kinds of types with no theme

Any good hire is going to have a strong system or tactical approach. The roster isn’t gonna align perfectly. And so that coach needs to be able to go to Drury and suggest guys in and guys out. And it’s probably gotta be real change. Not little swaps. He needs to be able to say Panarin doesn’t fit. Or Trouba doesn’t. Or Mika doesn’t. Or whatever.

And that shit isn’t gonna fly. Bc Drury is stubborn and bc they hamstrung themselves with contracts going for it.

Rangers search won’t include Joel Quenneville, plus look behind Gerard Gallant’s exit

The three-time Stanley Cup winner will not be a candidate for the Rangers’ coaching job as they embark on a search for Gerard Gallant’s replacement.

Well thank god

My under the radar interview candidate would be Tampa assistant and former Cap face off expert and pest Jeff Halpern. He’s going to get a job somewhere.

My “watch out” candidate is Bob Hartley. Formerly coached Drury, Stanley Cup winner and long NHL and KHL experience.

There is no way on God’s green earth that Bettman would have ever let his good buddy Dolan hire Quennvile. No f***ing way.

Quennville could probably get reinstated for Winnipeg or Arizona but not the Rangers.

This is nothing more than a preemptive kill.

 

[IDvsEGO]

I’d pick someone who leads winning teams consistently and has gotten their team to the Stanley Cup finals. A proven pedigree as it were.

You mean a coach who wouldnt be available because he's coaching another team under contract?

 

[cwede]

Leach is 43 years old. He might too young.

Keefe was turning 39 when began coaching Leafs, Woodcroft 45 taking over Oil,
Cooper w TBL also 45, Bednar 44

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I keep seeing this but Knoblauch wasn't exactly a "rely on the youth" guy. He actually relied more on the veteran players in Hartford than the younger guys.

He was also one more disappointing weekend away from missing out on the playoffs a fourth straight season. I really don't know why people are looking at him as a good candidate.

I mean if people are frustrated with Gallant's roster choices, Knoblauch would make them cry. Ask Bobby Trivigno.

Hartfords roster is not playoff worthy, they really have no business being there let alone doing well.

 

[Mugless]

Who is the hockey version of Brian Daboll?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Patrick Roy. Don’t want anything to do with Knoblauch.

We need an alpha, not someone who will let Panarin get away with his country club shit. He makes a few lazy passes his ass gets stappled to the bench.

10 candidates we're hearing who could be the next NY Rangers' head coach

This list could be the starting point as the Blueshirts begin to look for Gerard Gallant's replacement.

Some interesting names here. Babcock is a no for me. Q is already out per Larry. Boudreau would be more vocal that's for sure, but he couldn't get to the Vancouver players this year. Tochett came in and they were much better.

Laviolette is the only retread I'd be interested in, but even that wouldn't be high on my list.

Definitely more interested in the assistants. I don't think Brunette will get looks with the DUI, but you never know. Carbery would be outside of the typical NYR hire, so I'm more inclined there, especially since he coaches the leafs forwards. Same for Hiller. Leach learned under Sullivan, so maybe you go that direction since Sullivan is probably not an option.

 

[RangerBlues]

Drury should just step in and coach

Other has the most votes.

Looking at the very extensive list, who exactly is other?

 

[Machinehead]

Dan Bylsma? He won in Pittsburgh. His two seasons in Buffalo were blah. The team was terrible. Eichel was a hard guy to coach. Their record wasn’t terrible for a bad hockey. He was an assistant coach with the Wings for Blashill. Assistant coach in the AHL and now head coach of the Kraken's AHL team. Coachella Valley had an excellent season and they have advanced to the 3rd round of the AHL playoffs.

Stu Bickel baby

i like the fact Bylsma continue to work as an assistant coach and went to the AHL. He didn’t sit home waiting for his next NHL job. Still a young guy at 53.

Nobody loves plugs like Bylsma loves plugs. Vesey would lead the team in TOI.

One of the classic problems with other/don't know options in polls.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I can’t vote. I don’t think there’s a single coach in the world that can fix this team.

It’s the wrong personnel - even if they’re collectively very talented, the mix is wrong and there’s little wiggle room to make adjustments.

It’s the wrong culture.

It’s the wrong organizational philosophy.

It’s the wrong cap management (ties into philosophy).


Changing coaches every 2 years is like continuing to wedge a 2x4 under a sagging roof to support rotten beams. We can add another 2x4 and another 2x4 to keep the roof from caving in, but it will never fix the roof. You need to tear out the rot and make it structurally sound again.

A lot of coaches have short shelf lives. They just keep them far longer than they should.

Genuinely disturbing people want him coaching the team. It's a privilege to coach in the NHL and he's lost that right. Cant believe what people can look past if they think it'll make the team better.

 

[Machinehead]

The only guy off the carousel I have any interest in is Sutter. If not, take a chance on somebody new.

Sutter has nothing to do with Calgary falling apart. First of all, people wanna pretend Sutter is why nobody wants to play in Calgary. Nobody wants to play in Calgary because it's Calgary. Sorry, it's the truth.

When they had Tkachuk and Gaudreau, those guys bought in and the team was a unit. Huberdeau is a baby and Kadri isn't a star when he doesn't have actual stars ahead of him in the lineup.

They were near the top in analytics and quite frankly, look at the roster.

Yep. Fine if its Sutter, but outside of him I'm done with the old boys club crap. Id be fine if they hired someone I never heard of.
