Mike Sullivan adds two former NHL head coaches to his staff with the Rangers

It's been nearly a month since the New York Rangers announced their hiring of new head coach Mike Sullivan and today Sullivan has unveiled his assistant coaching staff for the 2025-26 season.

While there were rumors that former long-time Rangers head coach John Tortorella would join Sullivan's staff, that doesn't appear to be the case. Tortorella was not amongst the names announced today, but another former Rangers head coach, David Quinn, was named to Sullivan's staff. Quinn joins former Pittsburgh Penguins assistant Ty Hennes and former Boston Bruins interim-head coach Joe Saccco to round out Sullivan's staff.

From Rangers insider Peter Baugh:

Thoughts, Blueshirts fans?

I thought for sure we'd get a Sullivan and Tortorella reunion and now I'm not sure entirely what Tortorella's NHL future looks like. I imagine he's still holding out hope for a head coaching offer this upcoming offseason? Stay tuned.
