The New York Rangers have parted ways with head coach Peter Laviolette following a disappointing season, where they finished with a 39-36-7 record after winning the Presidents’ Trophy just a year prior. General manager Chris Drury, who has cycled through three coaches since his tenure began in 2021, is reportedly seeking a proven winner to take the helm. The top candidate is Mike Sullivan, the former Pittsburgh Penguins head coach, who boasts two Stanley Cup victories. NHL insider Elliotte Friedman expressed confidence that Sullivan will be the Rangers' next coach, emphasizing their need to make the right choice. Former defenseman P.K. Subban also endorsed the idea, labeling New York as Sullivan's optimal landing spot, suggesting they could reshape the roster for another championship run. Sullivan's recent release from the Penguins, where he became the winningest coach in franchise history, has sparked interest from multiple teams, but Friedman doubts the Rangers will let him slip away.
