Rod Brind’Amour and his Carolina Hurricanes were eliminated in 5 games by the Tampa Bay Lightning last night. His contract is now up, and he is a free agent for all teams to pursue. The Rangers had to wait and see if Brind’Amour would become available before making any final decision on a head coach.
So now it’s time to put their efforts into overdrive.
Why is Rod Brind’Amour so sought after
The 50 year-old Brind’Amour is lauded as being the next great coach because he’s mastered communication with today’s modern hockey player. In his three seasons leading the Canes, his record is an astounding 120-65-20.
