After the Rangers finally announced that Alain Vigneault had been relieved of his head coaching duties, the immediate question became who would replace the 56-year-old bench boss.

Two are veteran NHL coaches, two are AHL coaches, and two are people who have never coached in North America. That shouldn’t scare anyone, but we will go through each one and make a case why he should be the 35th head coach of the New York Rangers.
