As the New York Rangers‘ new President and GM Chris Drury looks to make the right hire for the club’s new head coach, the interview list is starting to take shape.
According to insider Elliotte Friedman, one of those who will speak with the Rangers will be former Arizona Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet.
Arizona parted ways with Tocchet on May 8 after being eliminated from the playoffs for the seventh time in eight years. Tocchet had been the head coach in Arizona for four years.

The Coyotes finished the 2021 season with a 24-26-6 record that, unfortunately, included a streak of 12 losses in 15 games that cost the team its playoff chances and, ultimately, Tocchet his job.
