The New York Rangers are apparently getting closer to naming a head coach based on the latest rumblings. Elliotte Friedman noted on Friday’s 32 Thoughts Podcast that the Rangers along with the Columbus Blue Jackets may be making a decision soon.
“I was asked the other day who could be first,” Friedman began. “A lot of us thought it might be Columbus but someone said to me that the Rangers could be moving closer to that list.”
So who might be the next Rangers coach? Based on conversations with league sources, Peter Laviolette is the most logical fit.
