While the designation of Quinn has been demoted, many expected him not to join the Rangers again. However, it seems Quinn is more than happy to be a part of the New York Rangers. Will this new position affect his performance? Or will he be able to guide the team under Sullivan's umbrella?
David Quinn joins New York Rangers as an assistant coach
David Quinn was head coach for the New York Rangers from 2018 to 2021, where he guided the team by making important decisions. However, when Chris Drury became the Rangers' General Manager, he fired Quinn from his role, which led to a sour departure on Quinn's side.
After getting relieved from the Rangers, Quinn went on to coach the San Jose Sharks from 2022 to 2024, after which he was called back by the Rangers in 2025. But, what made Quinn take this decision/ his last interaction with the Rangers was not exactly roses, but his bond with Mike Sullivan helped the Rangers hire Quinn. Even though the role is smaller than before, it is surprising that Quinn agreed to it.

However, it's not just David Quinn who's going to join the New York Rangers as there are other spots left in the coaching staff.
As per news, Joe Sacco and Ty Hennes will fill out the remaining roles. Though it is not made clear as to what designation Sacco and Hennes will get, it is sure that both will be joining the Rangers.
The New York Rangers have failed to win the Stanley Cup since 1994. There have been various changes in coaching staff, players, and other tactics were applied, but all to vain. With Mike Sullivan taking on the role of the head coach, there's hope amongst fans that the Rangers will rise again.

Mike Sullivan guided the Pittsburgh Penguins and helped them win two Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017. Besides, Sullivan had also coached Team USA at the 4-Nation's face off, which gives him an edge over other coaches. Another reason as to why Quinn willingly accepted the demoted role was because he had earlier worked with Sullivan in Pittsburgh and Team USA, both in an assistant role.

NHL Predictions: 3-time All-Star Ryan Suter likely to retire as market interest fades in offseason
3-time All-Star Ryan Suter likely to retire (Image via The Daily Faceoff) As the NHL offseason heats up, conversations around veteran defenseman Ryan Suter's future are beginning to lean toward an inevitable conclusion: retirement. At 40 years old, with production on the decline and minimal interest from contending teams, Suter may soon hang up his skates after a two-decade-long career. Ryan Suter may retire as market shrinks and contenders look elsewhere Despite still being available on the free-agent market, the interest in Ryan Suter is notably quiet. The once-reliable blueliner, who tallied just two goals and 13 assists this past season, appears to be nearing the end of his NHL journey. Bleacher Report's Erik Beaston believes retirement is becoming the most realistic option for Suter, especially if no compelling offers arise. "At age 40, it would appear rather unlikely that Suter would noticeably improve on those numbers, begging the question: what does he have left to prove at this point?" Beaston wrote. 'Outside of chasing a Stanley Cup, what can he realistically do at this point in his career that he had not already accomplished?' Cup dreams may be the only motivation left Suter's career has been nothing short of impressive—he's a 3-time NHL All-Star, former cornerstone of both the Minnesota Wild and Nashville Predators, and one of the league's most dependable defensemen for years. But as Beaston points out, 'Short of signing a short-term deal with a contending team, simply for the experience of winning the prize that has eluded him for over two decades, retirement should not be out of the question. ' Contenders like the Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Florida Panthers, or Winnipeg Jets could theoretically be landing spots, but as of now, none have signaled strong interest. The postseason grind requires depth and durability on the blue line—two qualities Suter once brought in abundance—but time has caught up with the veteran. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 반복되는 무릎통증,, 수술없이 / 단 1회 주사치료, 가능하다? 무릎치료 30년 - 장덕한방병원 서초본원(서울,강남) 더 알아보기 Undo His performance in the 2024–25 season reflects a steady decline, and with younger, faster defensemen flooding the league, Suter's traditional stay-at-home style has lost value. As teams continue to prioritize speed and offensive upside from their back end, veterans like Suter are being edged out.
