How new coach could alter Rangers’ only expansion list decision
NY Post
The change behind the Rangers bench to a coach to be named later will impact essentially every player on the roster in terms of usage, role, ice time and responsibility within a new system.
But the switch to someone not named David Quinn could impact roster decisions, as well, perhaps starting with the protection list for the Seattle expansion draft that is due into the NHL on July 18, three days before the Kraken stock the franchise. Because maybe, just maybe, Julien Gauthier won’t be up for grabs as he most certainly would have been if the coach who scratched the winger 24 times over the course of the 56-game schedule — and 14 straight from April 6 through April 29 — had remained in place.More Related News
