Rangers Expected To Hire Quinn, Sacco, Hennes As Assistants

The New York Rangers are set to finalize their coaching staff by hiring David Quinn, Joe Sacco, and Ty Hennes as assistant coaches under new head coach Mike Sullivan. Quinn, previously the Rangers' head coach and also a former Sharks coach, reunites with Sullivan after serving as an assistant in Pittsburgh and is expected to help with the power play. Sacco, Boston's interim head coach last season and a long-time Bruins assistant, joins the Rangers after Boston hired Marco Sturm as head coach. Hennes, who has worked with Sullivan throughout his NHL coaching career, will also transition from Pittsburgh to New York. The coaching changes come as Dan Muse, a former Rangers assistant, leaves to become head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins, signaling a rebuild for the Penguins after the Sullivan era. This new coaching trio faces high expectations to fill the roles left by Muse and Michael Peca, with fans particularly critical of Quinn's previous tenure as Rangers head coach.
