Phil Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 3. Gorton last week told The Post the Rangers would wait until the hiring of a president to succeed Glen Sather to begin their search for a head coach and staff for the AHL Wolf Pack following the dismissal of Keith McCambridge and his assistants. Bolstering the operation in Hartford, where the club has missed the playoffs the last four seasons, will be a major priority for the organization. https://nypost.com/2019/05/07/john-davidson-is-a-rangers-lock-so-let-the-artemi-panarin-frenzy-begin/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4EverRangerFrank Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Welp, that was bound to happen. I hope they upgrade the farm so I have a another excuse to visit Hartford and take in City Steam Brewery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that means coaching and management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Could be, but even with a new coach, they won't be making the playoffs without any actual talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 True, but I'd say goal #1 is making sure kids are well coached and prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Head Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 True, but I'd say goal #1 is making sure kids are well coached and prepared. Agreed. Proper development of young prospects. - individual skill acquisition - tactical responsibility - surround with the right veterans for example off the ice Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Needs to be a more attractive option for late round foreign picks, whatever that entails. Oh, and the obvious need for better junior scouts in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Hartford had talent last year. Just god awful coaching. Hajek's performance there vs the NHL is case and point. They fired the entire staff for good reason. Hopefully they bring in somebody good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 If Jack Hughes is our pick, he should go the the AHL first. Based on what? Most commentators expect him to go straight to whichever team picks him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Oh, you need a good farm system in order to grow your players? Got it. I don't follow Hartford that much, but reading that they've missed the playoffs four years in a row - yikes. I guess I shouldn't be surprised knowing some of the names that play there.

There?s been no prospects in Hartford for like 5 years lol.. can?t win if you don?t have quality players in your system. That will come soon with all of these 2nd and 3rd rounders Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddious Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Oh don?t get me wrong I?m not saying that?s been the only problem just one of them. And all the best names on that list only spent limited time there. But yea coaching and management have been a wreck.

Gravesy Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I think the sign of a great AHL operation isn’t necessarily just getting results and preparing high end talent. What you want ideally is an organization that produces NHL calibre players from lower end prospects like the Marlies and Syracuse have been doing for their big clubs, for example. Having high end talent on the team obviously helps in that regard, but it’s highly dependant on quality coaching and development programs.

Winning, at that level is secondary to teaching structure and developing players into correct roles. The Rangers do a terrible job with developing to roles and have for years. Making the same mistakes with Lias they had with Lundmark. #1 C in Hartford shouldn't be your 3rd Line LW in NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me this isn't a Hartford problem. This is a organizational problem. Why is Chytil playing wing when Quinn said they see him as a center? Why is Lias playing wing when they said the same thing about him? If there's no room on the team, put them in the minors. I don't understand the rush.
