According to Elliotte Friedman, Peter Laviolette is likely to be the next New York Rangers head coach. Laviolette has been a leading candidate for both the Rangers and the Columbus Blue Jackets openings and it seems like the Blueshirts have the edge for the once former Ranger. Given the rumors and relative “low risk” of hiring a retread like Laviolette, this seemed to be the best answer for Chris Drury.
Of all the retread options available to Drury to be the next Rangers head coach, Laviolette is the best amongst them.
