«I've gotten messages from NHL general managers already this morning saying 'Does Mike Sullivan end up in New York today or tomorrow?' I think it is one of those things that could be locked up within the next 42 to 78 hours,»
However, now on Friday morning the New York Rangers have confirmed that they have hired Mike Sullivan as their next head coach:
The 38th Head Coach in #NYR history.
Welcome (back) to Broadway, Sully!
