In the first offseason changes for the Rangers’ organization, Ken Gernander, the head coach of the AHL Hartford Wolf Pack for 10 seasons, was fired, and Rangers assistant general manager Chris Drury has been named general manager in Hartford.
The Wolf Pack finished last in the AHL, with 54 points (24-46-4-2). Gernander’s replacement was not immediately named. Jim Schoenfeld, the Rangers’ senior vice president and assistant general manager, who had been general manager in Hartford, will concentrate on assignments in New York.
Drury, the former center who played for the Avalanche, Sabres and Rangers, has been an assistant general manager for a year.
