[Portzline] Gallant was deeply interested in the CBJ vacancy two years ago when Brad Larsen was hired. Seems likely he’d be a candidate again.
Multiple reports saying Gerard Gallant and #NYR have mutually agreed to part ways after the Rangers were bounced in the first round of the playoffs.

Nah. We need someone to facilitate our youth and have a system in place. Gallant gets carried by goalies getting hot. That’s not something he’s going to fix with our team.
From what has been said, Galant is more “hands off”, not really an “Xs and Os” guy.
But, if you look at his track record he has had very successful seasons.
With the right assistants I believe he could do well here and develop our young players the right way. He’s a tough guy, who demands respect from his players, but is not like Sutter. He loves Columbus from all accounts, and wanted the job 2 years ago.
I say, bring him in.
Pascal Vincent is allegedly a candidate too. Neither person should be hired as our next coach.
Give me Brunette or Pecknold
Ew no thanks
Initially, I wanted to pass on him since he couldn’t get NYR past the first round, but after seeing a more comprehensive list of what he’s accomplished in previous seasons… I’m on the fence. Definitely not my top pick, but he’s at least a better choice than Sutter.
I don’t really care who we hire, we’re still years away from doing anything and finding a coach is a crap shoot
Please God.. No!!!
