We conclude our series of report cards for the 2018-19 New York Rangers with a roundtable look at rookie coach David Quinn. As a non-playoff team with one of the youngest rosters in the NHL, Quinn should not be judged on how the team did, but how he did.
David Quinn was brought on board because of his reputation for player development and his ability to relate to young athletes. He was supposed to be as much a teacher as a coach.
That said, he also was intent on establishing a culture for the team, much different from the identity instilled by Alain Vigneault.
