The search for Alain Vigneault’s successor will take the Rangers “wherever we can find the best possible coach,” general manager Jeff Gorton said Monday, ruling out only those without any experience behind the bench.

“We’ll look anywhere,” Gorton said. “I think ‘fresh’ is a good word. We’re looking for somebody that can help us get back to an identity we want to get to. We’re looking to go through this process and hear some ideas from some people about how we can move forward with the makeup of our team.
