The New York Rangers are in the process of doing their due diligence on the next head coach. Thus far, Gerard Gallant and Rick Tocchet have been confirmed interviews. From what I was able to gather, no discussions have taken place with any other coaching candidates including John Tortorella.
We are still very early in the process, and the Blueshirts are still waiting to see who else may become available. There should be more clarity after the first round of the playoffs conclude.
