Rangers Hire David Quinn, Joe Sacco As Assistant Coaches

June 5, 2025 at 4:19 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 6 Comments

4:19 p.m.: The Rangers have officially announced their new hires, according to a team statement.

8:38 a.m.: The Rangers are nearing a deal to bring David Quinn back to the organization as an assistant coach under new bench boss Mike Sullivan, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. They’re also expected to add former Bruins interim head coach Joe Sacco to Sullivan’s staff after Boston declined to remove his interim tag and hired Marco Sturm today instead. Sullivan’s third and final assistant will be Ty Hennes, who had been on Sullivan’s staff with the Penguins for the last few years, Friedman adds.

Quinn, whose first NHL head coaching job was in New York from 2018 to 2021, spent last year as an assistant under Sullivan in Pittsburgh as well. He also worked with Sullivan as an assistant for the United States at the 4 Nations Face-Off.

It’s exceedingly rare to see a coach return to a team so quickly after he’d been let go, especially in a reduced capacity, but he’ll take the chance to continue working with Sullivan after coming up short in a couple of head coaching searches. The Kraken and Penguins both reportedly interviewed Quinn for their vacancies this offseason.

Quinn will presumably work with a Rangers power play that had its fair share of struggles this year. After clicking at 26.4% in their Presidents’ Trophy-winning 2023-24 season, their man-advantage units converted at just a 17.6% rate this year, fifth-worst in the league.

Sacco heads to MSG after an 11-year run in Boston that began as an assistant in the 2014-15 season. The Massachusetts native survived two head coaching changes before getting a chance himself as the interim for most of this year following Jim Montgomery’s firing in November. He coached the Bruins to a 25-30-7 record, undoubtedly dragged down by a 5-11-2 post-deadline stretch after trading away captain Brad Marchand and top-four defenseman Brandon Carlo.

The 56-year-old’s previous NHL stops include a four-year run as head coach of the Avalanche from 2009-10 to 2012-13 and one year with the Sabres as an assistant in 2013-14. He also coached the United States to a bronze medal at the 2013 World Championship.

Hennes, the tertiary assistant, is by far the least experienced among the group. The 45-year-old has only ever worked in Pittsburgh at the NHL level, only working on the bench since November 2022. Before that, he worked with the Pens for four years as a skating skills coach.

Penguins Name Dan Muse Head Coach

June 4, 2025 at 11:21 am CDT | by Josh Erickson 10 Comments

The Penguins have hired Rangers assistant coach Dan Muse as their next head coach, per a team announcement. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported minutes earlier that the hire was expected to get across the finish line.

Muse is a bit of a surprise hire. He was the most recent name to be reported as a candidate for Pittsburgh’s vacancy, linked just yesterday by Larry Brooks of the New York Post.

Not too long ago, it looked like the finalists for the Pens’ job were Capitals assistant Mitch Love and Kings assistant D.J. Smith. It became apparent that Love was out of the mix and replaced by Muse as a finalist yesterday, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period relays. Love was labeled a name on which Pittsburgh was relatively high from the beginning, but the Penguins will instead opt to poach a different assistant coach in their early 40s from a Metropolitan Division rival in Muse.

This will be Muse’s first chance to be an NHL head coach. He’s spent five years in the league as an assistant, first with the Predators from 2017-18 to 2019-20 before working under Peter Laviolette in Manhattan for the past two seasons. In the interim, he was a head coach for the United States National Team Development Program and coached the Americans to a gold medal at the 2023 U-18 World Junior Championship.

The development of the Penguins’ young players will be crucial over the next few seasons as they look to quickly return to contention as Sidney Crosby’s, Kris Letang’s, and Evgeni Malkin’s careers wind down. That top-down ideology from general manager Kyle Dubas is extremely apparent with the hire of Muse, who’s won multiple accolades at the junior level – including a USHL championship as head coach of the Chicago Steel in 2017 before landing the AC job with Nashville.

Here’s Dubas’ full statement on Muse’s appointment:

During this process, we met with many candidates who we felt would have been a fit as the next head coach of the Penguins, but ultimately, Dan Muse stood out as the best choice. What separated Dan was his ability to develop players, win at all levels where he has been a head coach and his consistent success coaching special teams in the NHL. From his success in developing college and junior players, to his impactful work with veteran players during his time in the NHL, Dan has shown a proven ability to connect with players at all stages of their careers and help them to reach their potential. Additionally, his leadership of special teams units at the NHL level in both Nashville and New York produced elite results consistently. His overall body of work, attention to detail and vision for our group showed us that he is the best coach to take our team forward. We’re excited to welcome Dan, and his family, to the city of Pittsburgh.

As for the Rangers, they’ll need to continue their coaching overhaul under new bench boss Mike Sullivan, whom Muse succeeds in Pittsburgh. They’ll have an entirely new bench staff next season after firing associate coach Phil Housley and losing assistant coach Michael Peca to Jeff Blashill’s staff with the Blackhawks.

Hurricanes’ Jesper Fast Announces Retirement

June 2, 2025 at 1:04 pm CDT | by Gabriel Foley 5 Comments

Former Carolina Hurricanes forward Jesper Fast has decided to call it a career. He’s announced his retirement at the age of 33, after 11 seasons and 703 games in the NHL. Fast spent seven seasons with the New York Rangers, and his last four seasons with the Hurricanes.

Fast faced an uphill battle to the pros from the start. He was originally drafted in the sixth-round of the 2010 NHL Draft, after making his professional debut in Sweden’s SHL. He continued on for three seasons in Sweden’s top league, before making the jump to North America at the end of the 2012-13 campaign. He spent the bulk of the 2013-14 season in the minors, but also earned the first 11 games of his NHL career on the back of 34 points in 48 games as an AHL rookie. Fast didn’t score in any of those NHL appearances, but did enough to flip the balance in his sophomore season – with 11 appearances in the AHL to 58 games in the NHL. He scored six goals and 14 points in those appearances, then added six points in 19 games of the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Fast locked in his spot in New York’s bottom-six after providing strong, two-way support during their theatric 2015 run. He scored just 30 points in 79 games during his first full NHL season in 2015-16, but provided heaps of impact on both ends of the ice. That pattern came to define Fast over the next few years – consistently rivaling 30 points and making tough plays across the ice. He was a player that fans wanted to root for more than they wanted to root against, even if his scoring or lineup role never jumped off the page.

But Fast’s career was marred by injuries in nearly every year. He played in fewer than 70 games in six of his 11 NHL seasons, largely thanks to his gritty and aggressive role. The poor injury luck came to a peak in the 2023-24 season, when Fast suffered a broken neck in the final game of Carolina’s season. That injury held him out of the entirety of the 2024-25 campaign, and will now lead him into retirement. It’s an unfortunate cap to a tenacious career that continued on into Fast’s 30s. He was a playoff hero in Carolina’s 2023 postseason, netting nine points and two overtime game-winners in 15 games.

Even with an early end to his career, it’s hard to imagine Fast staying away from the hockey world for too long – whether he returns in a Swedish coaching role or supporting NHL development.

Rangers Gauging Interest Level In K’Andre Miller

May 31, 2025 at 12:53 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 3 Comments

This past season was a rough one for the Rangers who went from a perceived Stanley Cup contender to missing the playoffs altogether.  Along the way, GM Chris Drury tried to shake up his roster while some of his older veterans could still be available as further shakeups are believed to be desired.

It appears that one player who could be in the mix in a shakeup deal is defenseman K’Andre Miller.  In a recent appearance on Sportsnet 590 (video link), Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that Miller’s name is definitely out there as Drury is trying to gauge the market for some of his players.

Two years ago, it looked like the 25-year-old had taken a big step forward toward becoming an all-situations core blueliner with a 43-point breakout year while logging more than 22 minutes a night.  While New York would have preferred to sign him to a long-term deal at that time, their cap situation forced them to pursue a bridge option instead with the sides agreeing on a two-year, $7.74MM pact.

Unfortunately for Miller and the Rangers, his play took a step back the following year and another step back this season.  Offensively, his output dropped to just 27 points in 74 games while some ill-timed defensive miscues helped contribute to the team going from being one of the stingier defensive teams in 2023-24 to one in the bottom half of the league in that category this season.

While this is generally the time that a player would sign a long-term deal coming off a bridge pact, Friedman suggests that the team isn’t ready to make that commitment at this point.  With two RFA-eligible seasons remaining, they could theoretically look to work out a one-year deal but the back-dated nature of his bridge deal puts his qualifying offer alone at $4.646MM.  Between that and Miller being eligible for salary arbitration, even a one-year deal might be costlier than they can afford.

Per PuckPedia, the Rangers enter the summer with just $8.4MM in cap space with Miller and winger Will Cuylle being their most prominent players to re-sign.  But considering the two of them alone could cost that much let alone filling out the rest of their roster or trying to add an impact player, it’s certainly understandable that Drury is at least exploring what level of interest would be out there in Miller to see if a feasible trade presents itself.  But if one does, New York will have a big hole to try to fill on their back end moving forward as well.

Rangers Testing The Market For K’Andre Miller

May 28, 2025 at 7:15 pm CDT | by Paul Griser 6 Comments

With new head coach Mike Sullivan at the helm, the New York Rangers are ready to begin the next chapter in their franchise’s story—one that may not include a key defender from recent seasons.

Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said on his 32 Thoughts Podcast that the Rangers are gauging trade interest in pending restricted free agent K’Andre Miller. Friedman compared Miller’s situation to that of the Sabres’ Bowen Byram, another young, high-pedigree defender who could benefit from a change of scenery. As Friedman notes, “It’s not a guarantee, but they are testing the market.”

The 25-year-old Miller is coming off a down year, mirroring the performance of many members of the Rangers’ core who disappointed this season. In 74 games, Miller scored seven goals, 27 points, and posted a zero plus/minus rating. While he tied his career high with 21:57 of ice time per game, Miller also set a career high with 97 giveaways. Moreover, his 107 hits and 110 blocked shots were his lowest totals since his rookie season.

GM Chris Drury will need to decide if trading Miller is the best move for the team, but if a trade doesn’t bring a defender back to New York, the Rangers will likely have to target the position in free agency. As the roster currently stands, the Rangers have five defensemen under contract for the 2025-26 season, which includes Adam Fox, William Borgen, Braden Schneider, Carson Soucy, and Urho Vaakanainen. And like Miller, Matthew Robertson and Zachary Jones are set for restricted free agency, while veteran Calvin de Haan is set to become an unrestricted free agent.

While Miller didn’t have the season he’d hoped for heading into restricted free agency, he could benefit from playing under Sullivan, especially if the coach brings his patented style that helped the Pittsburgh Penguins win two Stanley Cups. In Pittsburgh, Sullivan favored a fast-paced style of play that relied on mobile defenders—something Miller excels at.

Rangers, Michael Peca Parted Ways Weeks Ago

May 22, 2025 at 5:30 pm CDT | by Brennan McClain 1 Comment

  • Although he only joined the Chicago Blackhawks earlier today, Michael Peca had reportedly been unemployed for a few weeks. According to an article from Mollie Walker of the New York Post, Peca and the New York Rangers had agreed to part ways when the team hired Mike Sullivan on May 2nd.

Blackhawks Hire Jeff Blashill, Michael Peca

May 22, 2025 at 11:12 am CDT | by Josh Erickson 38 Comments

11:12 a.m.: Chicago had made Blashill’s hiring official. They’re also bringing in Rangers assistant Michael Peca to serve in the same role on Blashill’s staff, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports. Peca, 51, had been working under Peter Laviolette in New York for the past two years. He’s also worked as a development coach for the Capitals and an assistant coach for AHL Rochester. Sorensen will be on Blashill’s staff as an assistant as expected, while Penguins assistant Mike Vellucci is a strong candidate for the third and final assistant job on Blashill’s bench, per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period.

10:26 a.m.: The Blackhawks will announce Lightning assistant Jeff Blashill as their next head coach later today, per Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff.

Blashill was the only name to be publicly linked to Chicago’s vacancy throughout their search aside from University of Denver bench boss David Carle, who opted to stay in his NCAA role. The Hawks have had nearly a month to explore other options after Carle withdrew his name from consideration for the position, and while there were some other unknown candidates they were considering as recently as a few days ago, Blashill has been positioned as the favorite for the role ever since his name first emerged.

Chicago will be Blashill’s second stop as an NHL head coach. His first, a seven-year run as head coach of the Red Wings, was a tough assignment as the team slowly entered a full teardown with him at the helm. That understandably led to a poor record – a 204-261-72 (.447) mark in the regular season with just one playoff series and one playoff win to his name, coming in Game 3 of the 2016 first round against the Lightning in his first season behind the Detroit bench.

There are legitimate reasons for optimism that Blashill can be a more effective head man with a Blackhawks club in the latter stages of their rebuild rather than with a Detroit club in the early stages. Since being let go by the Wings in 2022, he’s served as Jon Cooper’s top assistant in Tampa for the last three years. He also put together a strong minor-league resume with Detroit’s AHL affiliate in Grand Rapids before being promoted to the top role there, guiding the Griffins to a Calder Cup championship in 2013 and being named the league’s Coach of the Year the following season.

Blashill will take over for interim head coach Anders Sorensen, who was behind the Chicago bench for most of this year after the team dismissed Luke Richardson in early December. Sorensen, who coached the team to a 17-30-9 (.384) record in the season’s final 56 games, is expected to remain with the Blackhawks in some capacity.

The 51-year-old Blashill will likely have a significantly bolstered roster to manage come opening night compared to how the Hawks are beginning the offseason. Not only do they have the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s draft that could potentially slot into Blashill’s first-year lineup, they’re expected to be one of the most aggressive clubs in free agency this summer with nearly $31MM in cap space and no high-priced pending RFAs to re-sign.

While Blashill may not be the person behind Chicago’s bench when they’re a consistent playoff team again, he’ll at least be tasked with helping the club exit its years-long rebuild. He’ll do with a stacked group of under-25 players that includes forwards Connor Bedard, Oliver Moore, and Frank Nazar, defensemen Artyom Levshunov, Sam Rinzel, and Alex Vlasic, as well as goaltender Spencer Knight.

With Chicago making Blashill’s appointment set in stone, only three head coaching vacancies remain: the Bruins, Kraken, and Penguins.

Offseason Checklist: New York Rangers

May 18, 2025 at 10:03 am CDT | by Brian La Rose 10 Comments

The offseason has arrived for half of the league’s teams that aren’t taking part in the playoffs plus those already eliminated through the first couple of rounds.  Accordingly, it’s time to examine what they will need to accomplish over the coming months.  Next up is a look at the Rangers.

What a difference a year makes.  In 2023-24, the Rangers won the Presidents’ Trophy with a 114-point effort and made it to the Eastern Conference Final.  With the bulk of the core intact heading into this season, expectations were high and they were a popular Stanley Cup pick.  Instead, things went off the rails early and they never recovered.  GM Chris Drury has already made one big change with Mike Sullivan taking over behind the bench for Peter Laviolette but he has several other things to address in the coming weeks and months.

Make First-Round Pick Decision

As part of the trade to bring center J.T. Miller in for his second stint with the team, the Rangers parted with a first-round pick to get him.  While the expectation and hope was that they’d be a playoff team, Drury was able to get some light lottery protection on the selection before making the swap.  That turned out to be prudent as, of course, New York wound up missing the playoffs.

The protection on the pick was if it fell in the top 13.  While the Rangers weren’t one of the big winners in the draft lottery, their selection wound up 12th, meaning New York still has control of it.

Drury now has two options.  He can elect to keep this pick but doing so means that their 2026 pick would be moved instead without any protection on it.  Alternatively, even though this year’s pick fell into the protected range, the Rangers can still choose to convey it this year but that means handing a top-12 pick to a division rival as Pittsburgh now holds the selection after acquiring it from Vancouver soon after the Miller swap was made.

It’s not necessarily an easy call to make.  If Drury truly believes the Rangers can turn things around under Sullivan with the bulk of the core intact, it’s a question of weighing the 12th pick this year against something in the high-teens or early-20s next year.  Using that framework, keeping the pick and dealing next year’s pick would make sense.  But if there’s any uncertainty about their status as a playoff team for 2025-26, letting an unprotected pick go to a division rival would be risky.  Either way, a call on this will need to be made in the near future.

Create Cap Space

While the Rangers got rid of Barclay Goodrow last summer and former captain Jacob Trouba early in the year to create cap space for next season, that money was spent quite quickly on Miller’s addition and long-term extensions given to Igor Shesterkin and Alexis Lafreniere.  As a result, they enter the cap space with less than $9MM in cap space, per PuckPedia, and their RFA class (more on some of them shortly) alone will eat that up.  Accordingly, if Drury wants to add to his roster, he’s going to have to open up some cap room first.

Early in the season, the Rangers made it known that veteran winger Chris Kreider was available but in the midst of a down year that saw him miss time with injury, suitors weren’t lining up for his services.  He has two years left on a deal that carries a $6.5MM price tag and a 15-team no-trade clause that could limit New York’s options.  It’s unlikely he’d yield a high-quality return but it’s possible that there’s a move out there that could bring a player back and open up at least a bit of cap flexibility.

The other veteran who found himself in trade speculation in-season was center Mika Zibanejad.  With Miller being signed through 2030 and Vincent Trocheck through 2029, some have wondered if Zibanejad could be expendable.  But he’s also coming off a quiet year (though he still managed 20 goals and 62 points) and is signed at $8.5MM per season through 2030.  He’s also 32 with a full no-move clause which takes the threat of waivers off the table.  It’s possible that there could be some interest from teams not looking to get into the free agent market or from some who struck out on that front.  Again, assuming there’s a move he would approve, the Rangers probably wouldn’t clear the full salary but would likely get a player or two back and at least some cap relief.

On a smaller-scale front, defenseman Carson Soucy also feels like a possible candidate.  Just acquired before the trade deadline, he’s now on an expiring deal worth $3.25MM and his trade protection drops to just 12 teams in July.  If New York wants to do something else on the back end and there’s a team looking for just a short-term addition, a move could be made there as well.

Drury has shown he’s willing to be aggressive in moving players out to open up salary cap flexibility.  He’s going to have to be similarly aggressive to do so again in the weeks ahead.

Make A Decision On Miller

Let’s talk about one of those restricted free agents now, defenseman K’Andre Miller.  Two years ago, New York’s cap situation forced them to only focus on a bridge contract with the belief that, like Lafreniere, a long-term deal would await him at the end of it.

However, his output dipped last year after his breakout effort in 2022-23 and it dropped again this season to seven goals and 20 assists in 74 games although he did average a career-high-tying 21:57 per night of ice time.  He also had more than his fair share of defensive struggles.

Miller has two years of team control left, both of which are arbitration-eligible.  He’s also owed a $4.646MM qualifying offer, one that matches his salary from this season but represents a jump of nearly $800K on his cap hit.

Do they look to do another bridge deal, one that could very well be trying to get him to accept his qualifying offer?  That would help the most from a salary cap standpoint this season but would also put him a year away from UFA eligibility where if he wanted to test the market, he could simply file for arbitration next summer, take the award, and hit free agency.  Generally speaking, teams try to avoid that scenario.  A two-year bridge would cost more and walk him right to UFA eligibility so that’s probably out of the question while a three-year pact would cost even more but could be more palatable from a longer-term perspective.

Or, if Drury wants to be aggressive, he could take Miller to arbitration where he could ask for a 20% drop on the qualifying offer which means they could offer $3.72MM on a one-year deal.  That has its risks as well, however, as Miller would then be eligible to ask for a two-year award, taking him right to UFA eligibility.  Plus, such a move could sour relations between the two sides.  But Drury has been ruthless before so this option should at least be noted.

The other two alternatives would be a long-term deal, one that would probably push past $6MM per season and require a cost-cutting move.  The other one would be cutting bait altogether and trading him outright.  Given that Miller is a key cog on the back end, that doesn’t feel like a probable outcome but their hand could be forced if they their cap situation necessitates such a move.  Suffice it to say, Miller’s contract is a key domino this summer.

Sign Cuylle Quickly

With the big increases coming to the Upper Limit of the salary cap, there has been more speculation about an uptick in offer sheets.  There remains some skepticism about that notion but one thing St. Louis showed with their successful offers to Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg is that teams can be leveraged with their cap situation.  Based on the above sections, the Rangers are a team who could be leveraged on the offer sheet front.

They also have a young player exiting his entry-level deal, just like Broberg and Holloway last year.  That would be winger Will Cuylle whose sophomore year was a good one.  The 23-year-old finished sixth in the team in points after notching 20 goals and 25 assists along with a whopping 301 hits, good for a tie for third overall in the league in that category.  While it won’t directly affect negotiations, he’s also off to a solid start at the Worlds for Canada.

Power forwards are always in high demand.  A chance to get a still young one who has now shown that he can score at the NHL level is going to be appealing for teams to kick the tires on.  Speculatively, it wouldn’t be shocking to see a team go as high as the top of the second-round tier, a $4.68MM offer on a short-term deal.  Going higher on a longer-term deal (a $7.02MM offer would cost a first-round pick and a third-rounder) is also a possibility but a short-term route to try to follow what St. Louis did is the likelier outcome.

Drury needs to ensure he has some leftover cap flexibility into mid-July to try to reduce that potential leverage.  By then, Miller’s RFA situation could be settled or it could be arbitration-bound and still in flux for a little while longer.

To guard against that, it might be worth Drury prioritizing Cuylle’s RFA case and get him signed before restricted free agency opens up.  That might require them to take a leap of faith that they can free things up cap-wise later on but it might be worth that to take any chance of an offer sheet off the table.  Oftentimes, restricted free agents without arbitration rights can be delayed with other cases getting the priority.  Here, it could very well be the opposite if they have concerns about an offer sheet coming their way.
