GLEN SATHER RUMORS & GOSSIP
Sather Blames Lack Of Offense And Puck Possession On Tortorella, Not Himself
With Henrik Lundqvist telling the New York Post's Larry Brooks that he had no involvement in the firing of John Tortorella the fire was once again stoked. If Lundqvist did not request the change, then who did? Did anyone? Glen Sather sought to clarify that when he spoke to NYDN beat writer Pat Leonard. Sather said that no player specifically asked for the move but that he and...
What Area of Roster Should Rangers Focus On Improving Most?
As we’ve discussed right here on Ranger Nation, Glen Sather’s summer agenda is filled with high priority items. Presumably, Slats will settle on a coach soon (Mark item one off of said agenda) and the Blue Shirts have some key RFA’s to get under contract at some point this summer. Of course how much will [...]
Decision on Vigneault Not Imminent; Leetch to Be Messier Assistant?
Larry Brooks at the New York Post reports that Alaine Vigneault is believed to have made a favorable impression on Glen Sather during his interview on Tuesday, though an offer for the Rangers head coaching vacancy does not seem imminent, unless the Stars make a time-sensitive offer to Vigneault.
Stars GM Jim Nill says he'd like to have a decision on a new head coach by the...
If Rangers Want Vigneault They Better Move Quick
As I posted Sunday, Glen Sather really needs to add a little pep to his step if he doesn't want another top head coaching candidate to sign elsewhere.

Jan Levine: Rangers Coaching Search Finally Under Way...
The Rangers finally appear to realize that a coaching search is underway. While the team brass meet at the Western White House, otherwise known as GM Glen Sather's pad in La Quinta, information has filtered out about the "progress" on the search for a new coach. Of course, John Tortorella was fired almost two weeks ago, but why should that gap in time be a reason for...
Is Glen Sather Considering Stepping Down?
As if the New York Rangers' offseason hasn't been eventful enough with the surprise dismissal of John Tortorella as head coach, one more move could be on the horizon. And one the majority of the fan base has been clamoring for.

Placing The Odds On The Rangers Coaching Candidates
from Andrew Gross of The Record,
The Rangers begin their annual organization meeting today at GM Glen Sather's La Quinta, Calif., mansion and one of the main priorities is to find a coach to replace John Tortorella, who was fired on May 29. One candidate, Dallas Eakins of the Toronto (AHL) Marlies is presumed to be no longer available because he's on the verge of getting...
Projecting How Much Stepan Is Worth as a RFA
Rangers GM Glen Sather might have to postpone his annual fishing trip this summer given how much work awaits him this offseason. After firing head coach John Tortorella, Slats and Co.’s first order of business will be to find a replacement bench boss. After that and in no particular order, the Rangers will need to [...]
The Week of Reckoning for Glen Sather and the New York Rangers
The New York Rangers returned home Monday evening, a team clearly at the crossroads of their thus far underachieving season.

One creative way that Glen Sather may already be planning for the new CBA
We’ve repeatedly lauded Rangers GM Glen Sather for his patience this summer, but rumors of new framework for the next CBA could represent just another example of the wisdom of Sather’s willingness to hurry up and wait.
One of the pieces of the owners’ first proposal to the players was to extend Entry Level contact lengths from three years to five. It’s another attempt by...
