Mike Sullivan, recently let go by the Pittsburgh Penguins after a decade-long tenure, is now available to coach. This coincides perfectly with the New York Rangers' need for a new head coach.
Rangers' president and general manager Chris Drury has reportedly wanted Sullivan, a fellow Boston University alum and former Rangers assistant coach, as head coach since 2018.
The situation presents a potential ideal scenario for Drury. Sullivan's experience and connection to Drury make him a strong contender for the open position.
The would-be front-runner for the Rangers head coaching job is no longer a hypothetical.
Indeed, Mike Sullivan is officially available at the same time as a vacancy behind the Blueshirts bench in president and general manager Chris Drury’s presumed dream scenario, after the veteran coach “parted ways” with the organization he served ferociously and loyally for the past decade, the Pittsburgh Penguins.
