2 of these 3 things are not preached by guys like Babcock and Quenville.
But what do they know.

I’m not really sure what Quinn is going to be as coach. I’m definitely not unhappy with the hire. I think this is a guy that’s paid his dues to get to this league. And whatever he did and however he wanted his teams to play, I don’t think any of us will have a real handle on him until late-September at the very earliest.
I have a friend who hates this phrase, so I use it as much as possible. I said all that to say this:
Whatever Quinn is, it’s hard to deny that we’re in a fascinating period of time for the organization. We’re going to be seeing a whole slew of new players and they’re going to be playing for a new coach. After the years of excitement AND disappointment and especially the last few of really just disappointment, this is a breath of fresh air. It’s exciting. For all the griping-without-cause going on in these threads, I think we should all step back and savor that a little.

Yea I definitely don't like how he said no to a lot of money but yes to a lot of money plus more money. This guy should've been happy to take an NHL coaching job.
It's money, you always ask for more money. If someone offers you 10 bucks you ask for 20 and meet in the middle.

Is this typical for coaches making the jump to the NHL though? This money has to be life changing for him. It just makes it look like he wasn't interested to me until the extra money convinced him otherwise.

Every single Rangers coach has done this when they offered them a job, with the probable exception of Trottier. Well, and Sather since he hired himself. This is just the only one where it’s been public.
That irrelevant, if they are interviewing him then they feel he is capable of the job and should be paid somewhere in the ballpark of an NHL coach. Specifically, they are looking for a skill set that includes developing younger players which in theory he has. His salary is fairly close to what the Flyers dude got, nothing wrong with negotiating a few extra dollars.

Change is good.
Aaaand... the just be grateful for the fact that the mighty New York Rangers deigned to offer you the job meme raises its head again.
Color me pleased that the guy had both the strategic insight and the confidence to negotiate for more money. Frankly, those are both traits I WANT in a coach.

It (appears to be) more than just leveraging money.
A lot of time had passed since Quinn's interest session, Round 1. More than a week? That's not a situation of playing hard to get, that's being comfortable with saying no. For all intents and purposes, another candidate could have risen to the forefront. Quinn likely passed up compensation totaling 3x $$$ his BU money the first time around. That doesn't seem too eager for the opportunity.
Fast forward 10 days later, Montgomery is off to Dallas. Lets say the Rangers kick it up from 1.6 to 2.4M annually. Now he's game? Yeah, the motivation concerns me a bit on that scenario. Granted, it may not be a perfectly accurate scenario, but it's surprising he felt comfortable staying away the first time around.
I suppose the worry is - He may not have really wanted it the first time around. If he did, the negotiation wouldn't have occurred 7-14 days later.
When things get tough in Year 2, what keeps him from returning to BU?

People seem to be taking this whole money thing way too seriously haha
He was offered 2x4 sometime in the past week and a half. Maybe he initially said no because he wanted longer term for job security.
The Rangers came back and offered 2.4x5 to get it done
The only person that knows is him. He clearly still had interest because he never took himself out of the running
Buccigross or however you spell his name’s tweet about the “money being too good to turn down” doesn’t help with the baseless speculation

Not a good look to not seem very interested in the job. See Kovalev's post above. He put it better than I did.

You both put it terribly and don't understand negotiation.

CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
He is paid about league average. though tbf we do not know the $ for many coaches in the league but I'd bet decent money guys like Torts, Gallant, Maurice, Carlyle, and Peters are all being paid more then Quinn is. Also, who cares it's not like it affects salary cap or anything, are we really going to weep tears over Dolan writing a check out of his deep pockets to Quinn?
