Machinehead
GoAwayTrouba
Defensive assistant. Worked with AV before. Vancouver and Tampa. Top possession teams.
Rick Bowness played with and coached Scott Arniel in Winnipeg back in the day. Joined the Bruins organization as ahl head coach, Gordie Clark was an assistant to Bowness the one season he coached the Bruins.
He was also a teammate of Joe Micheletti on the Blues in 1980.
Why would Bowness come to the Rangers with AV having 2 years left on his contract and the Rangers embarking on a reconstruction/rebuild/retool?
And this one will last a lifetime.
Hopefully something will be officially confirmed soon. If Bowness does re-up with Tampa, I'd prefer to replace Ulf with someone who has NHL experience, like a Brad Shaw.
Bowness has been a head coach before and maybe could see a promotion in his future?
