Rangers Fire Coach, Seek New Talent in Draft

About this episode

The New York Rangers have fired coach Grant Potulny and are seeking new talent in the upcoming draft after a disappointing season.

The New York Rangers have made a significant change in their American Hockey League affiliate, firing coach Grant Potulny and his assistants for the Hartford Wolf Pack. This move comes after a disappointing two-season stint with fifty-six wins, seventy-one losses, twelve ties, and five overtime losses, and missing the playoffs both years. The team finished last in the league last season with just sixty points and a minus sixty-three goal differential. This shake-up follows the departure of Jed Ortmeyer, the head of player development. Potulny, who came from college hockey, had mixed results in developing prospects. The Rangers are now looking for a new coach, possibly with pro experience, and may make more front office changes. All eyes are on Tuesdays draft lottery, where the Rangers have the third-best odds at eleven point five percent for the top pick.
