It’s the silly season of the NHL. General managers, coaches, and players alike are about to be sent here, there, and everywhere in an attempt to keep their jobs in this sport. For the Rangers, the current priority remains to search for the next head coach for the franchise after it was announced that Gerard Gallant will not be returning next season, departing by “mutual consent”.
Changes in this sport often have a knock-on effect and we can show that perfectly with the departure of Kyle Dubas from the Toronto Maple Leafs organization as general manager. When a GM leaves a team, it raises questions all around the club.
