Since the moment Alain Vigneault was relieved of his coaching duties, the majority of Rangers fans have been advocating for young, new blood behind the bench. Over a month has passed since the season ended and some of those wanted coaches are off the board.
Other Teams Moving Quick
The Flames filled their coaching vacancy with former Canes coach, Bill Peters. Dallas hired NCAA coach, Jim Montgomery which could kick off a wave of coaches with no NHL bench experience coming in. Another college coach, David Quinn of B.U. appears to not want to leave, thus making Sheldon Keefe of Toronto’s affiliate, the Marlies a top candidate for the Rangers.
