The Rangers don’t need someone to develop new talent, nor do they need someone who is just getting them over the hump of qualifying for the playoffs.
Time, and of course, who president and general manager Chris Drury chooses as the successor.
That is what the next head coach of the Rangers will be challenged to do. Nothing less will be accepted, nor tolerated. It is going to take someone who will not be intimidated by the task at hand, but also someone who will be able to embrace the pressure and spotlight of New York. Someone who can command and give respect to the veterans in the locker room, while also empowering and motivating the team as a whole.
Word is that players’ exit interviews played a role in the decision to move on from Gallant, as well as Drury’s conversations with Gallant himself. There appeared to be a bit of a disconnect between the general manager and the head coach on certain matters, which definitely influenced the final verdict, as well.It was obvious that the constant line juggling irked some of the players, who would often express a desire for combinations to stay the same as they prepared for it to change.
