Mike Sullivan is reportedly in advanced negotiations to assume the head coaching position for the New York Rangers, following his recent dismissal from the Pittsburgh Penguins. Rangers' general manager Chris Drury has had Sullivan on his radar for three years, making this appointment a natural progression. Sullivan is expected to revitalize the Rangers' playing style with his focus on simplified systems and speed, contrasting the previous coaching strategy. Additionally, John Tortorella is likely to join Sullivanâs coaching staff in a supporting role.
Sullivan catapulted to the top of Chris Drury's head coach list after he was dismissed by the Pittsburgh Penguins earlier this week. Sullivan has been on Drury's radar for three years.
Sullivan will bring a good blend of simplified systems and speed to the Rangers on-ice style of play, something sorely needed after four seasons of hybrid complexity.
