Among the teams looking for a new head coach are the New York Rangers, who have parted ways with Gerard Gallant after being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the New Jersey Devils.

Gallant has been behind the Blue Shirts' bench since 2021 and has led them to the Conference Finals last season.

Now, the quest for a new coach has started in New York, and a new development has emerged about the situation.
