Per Larry Brooks, the Rangers are going to be interviewing Rick Tocchet soon as part of their search for a head coach. This isn’t really a surprise, as the Rangers were always going to interview more than just one candidate for the head coaching position.
Tocchet is the second coach to be interviewed by Chris Drury and the Rangers. It is expected they will have one or two more candidates in mind. However, per Brooks, that will not include Patrick Roy or John Tortorella. Both spoke with Drury, but are not serious candidates.
