David Oliver and Greg Brown have no NHL coaching experience. David Quinn has limited experience as an assistant coach in Colorado. This group is as green as they come, even though Lindy Ruff remains a part of this staff and that’s perfect for the rebuilding Rangers.
The additions of Oliver and Brown to the staff are all about developing this very young group of Rangers. David Oliver, who had a brief cup of coffee with the Rangers as a player in 1996/97 played a key role in the Avalanche organization as Director of Player Development.
