Rangers, Bruins Pursue Mike Sullivan After Penguins Dismissal

After parting ways with the Pittsburgh Penguins, two-time Stanley Cup-winning coach Mike Sullivan has become one of the most sought-after candidates in the NHL, with both the New York Rangers and Boston Bruins expressing strong interest in hiring him. Sullivan, who still had two years remaining on his contract, is expected to command a deal of at least five years and $6-7 million per season from either team. The Rangers, currently without a head coach, are widely viewed as the frontrunners, with many NHL general managers reportedly believing the job is his if he wants it. Sullivan's previous success and connections to both organizations, as well as his Massachusetts roots, have fueled speculation about where he will land next. Analysts note that the Rangers have previously shown interest in Sullivan, and his availability has become a major topic across the league. His next move could make him only the fourth coach in NHL history to win Stanley Cups with more than one team.
