There’s finally clarity in RangersTown of who will be leading the club for the 2023-2024 campaign and beyond, and it’s Peter Laviolette. Laviolette is extremely well known commodity within the NHL and he’s also one of the most respected coaches within the NHL’s coaching fraternity. Laviolette is a great motivator and fiery personality which is a drastic shift from Gerard Gallant. It was clear that Gallant and Chris Drury didn’t share the same vision and now we will likely see the Rangers benefit from Laviolette, both on and off the ice.
One of the most crucial elements of this hire for the Rangers is that they’re in a precarious spot because they’re not a team full of veterans and they have a lot of young players that’re still developing.
