Rangers Insider confirms Peter Laviolette's fate as the head coach of the New York Rangers
Rangers insider provides an update on the Peter Laviolette's position as the New York Rangers head coach.
Along with many reports suggesting the New York Rangers and
Detroit Red Wings were his two top destinations.
Last week GM Chris Drury sent a memo to the team, and named players who are available for trade in hopes this would spark the team.
Clearly this has backfired as the New York Rangers have only gotten worse as they have lost the last six out of their seven games.
But does this mean that head coach Peter Laviolette's job is on the line, and that Quenneville is going to take over?
He revealed that there has been no contact between the parties and there will be no contact, at least for this season.
Brooks then continued to state that Laviolette's job is safe and the Rangers are «committed» to their head coach so they won't just ditch him.
Regarding Laviolette, Larry Brooks said it best. «This core doesn't get to fire another coach.»
Laviolette is in his second season out of three year contract behind the bench, Last year, he went 55-23-4 and led the team to the Presidents Trophy with the best record in the NHL.
