David Quinn allegedly, but not officially, withdrew himself from the running to be the next coach of the New York Rangers. However, in a seemingly sudden reversal of this, is the news that he will instead become the 35th head coach of the Rangers.

Rather than a straightforward season-by-season review, we’ll go over some of the trends and tendencies that he exhibited and how they might carryover to the NHL level.
