The New York Rangers have made a strategic move during the NHL offseason, appointing Mike Sullivan as their new head coach. Sullivan, who previously led the Pittsburgh Penguins to two Stanley Cup victories, brings a wealth of experience and a championship pedigree to the Rangers. General Manager Chris Drury emphasized Sullivan's accomplishments and their shared history, referencing their time together in the 1997 World Championships.

Meanwhile, Rick Tocchet's tenure with the Vancouver Canucks has come to an end as he seeks new opportunities after leading the team to a Pacific Division title in the past season. Other teams, including the Seattle Kraken and Anaheim Ducks, are also making coaching changes, indicating a busy offseason ahead.
