The ink is barely dry on David Quinn’s pink slip and it looks like the Rangers have already identified a prime candidate. Per Larry Brooks, Gerard Gallant is a potential front runner for the Rangers head coach position.
Gallant’s name has been out there for a while, and he’s had some great success. He has a .600 winning percentage while coaching both Florida –a team that kicked him to the curb in a front office coup– and Vegas, and expansion team.
Gallant is one of the better names out there, along with Claude Julien and Bruce Boudreau.
