    Not sure I’d say that Lindy Ruff is best coaching talent out there, with Laviolette and Boudreau available. Either of these I’d trust over Ruff. Am I wrong?

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    I don't think you are wrong, but I also think Ruff is an upgrade over Hynes, just look at the track records. I was shocked Hynes got hired so quickly, and maybe even hired at all as a head coach.

    Cant say I saw Ruff as a front runner out there to get another gig considering some of the other options out there. We don't really know what went on behind the scenes as far as interviews go. For all we know, guys like Lavy or Gallant turned down the chance to coach there and it was their decision, not NJs. At this point, I figured they might as well just stuck with what they already had in Nasreddine if Ruff was the next best option.

    That's what I'm thinking happened too. Gallant probably has options. Laviolette should get another gig. I dont know how appealing the NJ job is right now or how well it pays...who knows.

    That's a great question.... interesting.

    I would have to lean to yes he will finish the year out. But thats just a gut feeling.

    I would assume so too, just an interesting point. Also odd how Pronger left the Panthers "mid-season" for an air travel company...why wouldn't he finish the season off to possibly be apart of their possible Stanley Cup run.

    And I see that for Ruff too, why would he accept the job right now unless he was allowed to finish the season off with the Rangers.

    Pronger and his wife own a travel company or something like that. I remember him talking about it a while back on one of the Spittin Chiclets episodes.

    Ohhhh, so it's prolly as a way to help due to the losses from COVID. Makes more sense.

    Hartford assistant coach Gord Murphy will join NYR for tournament, temporarily filling vacancy left by Ruff’s departure.
