Next Possible Rangers Coach

[Irishguy42]

Canes have no goalie, no 1C, no GM, and now...no coach.

Wew.

Also, lol Rod

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Would be shocked if Gorts doesn’t at least give him an interview

 

[rangers1314]

Seems like the writing is on the wall for Peters/Calgary.

Lebrun is reporting Calgary called Carolina yesterday looking for permission to speak with him.

 

[GregSirico]

Seems like Peters to CGY is basically done.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Quinn announced as coach for the US team at world juniors

Would presumably take him out of the running for our position. I'd imagine they would have held off announcing if they thought he might be hired

But I guess anything can happen

Onto Granato or Montgomery

 

[Mac n Gs]

Good. Didn’t want Quinn.

For college coaches, I’d be cool with Montgomery, Sandelin, or Leaman.

I’d be down for Benoit Groulx, Jay Leach, or Clark Donatelli

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Montgomery plz.

 

[GregSirico]

So, Quinn and Peters are officially off our list.

Nothing like a little Keefe on 420

Are you worried that he's not high on the NYR list? I am.

 

[Machinehead]

Quinn coaching the WJC team means Motzko is available

 

[Mike in Houston]

Quinn isn't out of the running.

Not so fast

If Quinn is the guy, can the Rangers get Joe Sacco to be his associate head coach? Sacco is an assistant coach under Cassidy and he also was an assistant coach for Julien. Quinn and Sacco knew each other very well.

Avs coach Joe Sacco, from Medford, Mass., has surrounded himself with longtime trusted friends in David Quinn and Tim Army. Sacco’s two new assistants — seemingly much more intense and outspoken than predecessors and former Avs players Sylvain Lefebvre and Adam Deadmarsh — were both born in Rhode Island and have strong New England ties. Quinn’s strong Boston accent immediately tells you he’s a diehard Boston Red Sox fan, and is undoubtedly distraught over the Patriots’ AFC championship game loss Sunday to the Baltimore Ravens.

Colorado Avalanche coaching staff has Joe Sacco pals

Sacco is a BU guy too.

Not so fast

Oh snap, maybe it can still work?

Jay Leach is Mr. Kathryn Tappen.

I’m familiar with all of these words individually. But I don’t understand them as they’re arrayed here.

Why would a temporary gig be a stumbling block? Not that I have an opinion on the guy. But I don’t think one would necessarily cancel out the other. Dunno.

FWIW, the WJC would be taking place during the NHL season, so that could be why one would think that it might take him out of the running for coaching an NHL team.

Ah. Gotcha. I didn’t realize.
Anyhow I’m sure they’d find a way to sort it out if he were the Rangers choice. He’d either have to not take the WJC role or maybe the Rangers would consider giving him a break during the season. Though the latter I seriously doubt would happen.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

If he’s not high on the list, I’m sure there’s a reason.

Falling in love with potential coaching candidates can be dangerous.

Also, Brooks dropped Dallas Eakins’ name in that article.

Pls no. He’s just as smarmy and arrogant as AV, and he’s certainly no “developmental” coach. That would be an utter disaster of a hire.

 

[GregSirico]

David Quinn stuff

Eakins likes analytics, but liking it and building a system that gets there are very different things.

 

[Savant]

Quinn is a better recruiter than coach. Don't want at all.

Look at who was on BU this year and tell me how they didnt make the Frozen Four.

I dont want that coach.
