4) Roy

Messier, really?

You're not old enough to want Messier as the coach.

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

My ranking:

1) Messier
2) Tortorella
3) Gallant
4) Roy

Messier has had 20 years to get experience behind the bench and hasn't bothered. No thanks.

I'm a Rangers fan from Vancouver who takes pride in how hated we are here, those pricks chant "Messier sucks" at every single game (even if they're not playing the Rangers/Oilers). Have to vote Messier just for how entertaining it'll be going to games when the Rangers come to town

 

[cwede]

Knoblauch or Gallant from those.
Or Torts.
Or some youngish (quinn/knoblach age) succesful CHL or AHL guy

 

[NYR94]

Gallant
Boudreau
Julien

No to the rest.

 

[TominNC]

No Messier

 

[turcotte8]

I'd rather keep Quinn over Messier.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I'd rather keep Quinn over Messier.

Me too.

So you want this huge decision for the franchise to be a troll job to fans in Vancouver?

 

[Tawnos]

Not that I think he’ll get a lot of votes, but Hartley should be on this poll. I think his chances are as good or better than anyone there.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Surprised no mention of Martin. I think its his job to lose if he wants it. It also creats continuity to a coach change.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Brind'amour

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Brind'amour

I wish but he's going to be back in Carolina.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

This list stinks but I chose Knobby mainly because so we can call him Knobby

God I hope it’s not Torts

 

[LeetchisGod]

Gallant is the only candidate on this list that I can stomach.

 

[Kaapo Hollweg]

And I would have thought you would want Rangers to win the Cup sometime in the next... 20 years.

 

[Mugless]

Love what Messier did for this franchise as a player. Listening to him in interviews, I don't want him anywhere near the front office or bench. I'd take him as a faceoff coach in camp.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I'd rather keep Quinn over Messier.

I'd keep Quinn over Messier, Babcock and Roy.

The fact that they do that should show you what Messier does to a team when he gets too much power.

Vancouver fans are absolutely right to hate him.

Messier has had 20 years to get experience behind the bench and hasn't bothered. No thanks.

he coached once in one of those international contests. Spengler Cup was it?

 

[Machinehead]

My top two picks would be Gallant and Knoblauch.

The AHL team improved tremendously under Knoblauch and I'd be interested to see what he can do without the shackles of "they have to know our NHL system."

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Gallant and then i guess a long way behind its Boudreau.....then id just promote Martin.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Whoever is best at developing young players.

 

[Fitzy]

Gallant followed by Torts, who idk why isn’t listed
