Rangers coaching search update

Summarized from [Staple’s latest article for The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/4555151/2023/05/26/rangers-coaching-search-update-candidates-in-the-hunt-for-jobs-with-other-teams/).

# Peter Laviolette

Still believed to be the front runner for Columbus. Calgary might also be interested.

# Mike Babcock

Rangers and Babcock have talked but sounds like neither side pursued this very far. Columbus also thought to be interested.

# Spencer Carbery

Already interviewed with the Rangers, but Anaheim and Washington are thought to be more likely destinations.

# Jay Leach

Rangers received permission to interview him, but not clear if they have yet.

# Patrick Roy

Apparently the Rangers made inquiries on Roy as far back as December when Drury was first thinking about a coaching change. Roy has heard from other teams as well, but not clear if he’s officially on Drury’s list.

# Sheldon Keefe/John Hynes

Keefe could be looking for a job when Toronto hires a new GM. Likewise Hynes in Nashville. Hynes and Drury go back to their Boston University days.

# Joel Quenneville

Coach Q getting reinstated doesn’t seem to fit in the Rangers timeline.

# Mike Sullivan

Still a longshot, but if Dubas takes over in Pittsburgh, that could turn into a too many chefs in the kitchen type problem.
