Whenever a team hires a new coach, there’s almost always a slew of changes as that coach brings in others to work alongside them. Those assistants often handle the more intricate details of the system that the new bench boss wants their team to play.
This past season the Rangers brought in first year head coach David Quinn straight from Boston University as the Blueshirts transitioned into their first full year of the rebuild. One of Quinn’s first big tasks was to fill out his bench by finding the coaches he felt were the best compliments to the system and identity that he wanted to install.
