When the New York Rangers hired Peter Laviolette as head coach there were some valid concerns. Laviolette had just come from the Washington Capitals who also had young players they were hoping to take the next step. Laviolette regularly benched young players in favor of vets on expiring contracts, so was there going to be more of the same in New York? After all, the Rangers had just fired Gerard Gallant for not getting the most out of his young players.
