Former Rangers coach Gerard Gallant headed to Russia for mystery KHL role
Former Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant is headed overseas. Gallant is set to coach in the KHL, according to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun, though it was not revealed which team in the Russian pro league he'll be joining. The 61-year-old spent two years with the Blueshirts, leading the Rangers to a 52-24-6 mark in his first season en route to a surprising upset over the Hurricanes in the conference semifinals in 2021-22. Gallant at a press conference on May 3, 2023. Robert Sabo for NY Post In his second season at the helm, Gallant's squad went 47-22-13 for 107 points, but flamed out against the Devils in a seven-game, first-round series that hastened his exit. He hasn't been able to land a head-coaching gig stateside since. The Rangers haven't exactly found their rock in the following seasons, moving on from Peter Laviolette this past offseason after his two seasons on Broadway. They hope longtime Penguins coach Mike Sullivan will be the answer as he prepares for his first go-round with the team. In parts of 11 NHL seasons, Gallant has put together a 369-262-4-70 mark, spending time behind the benches with the Blue Jackets, Panthers and Golden Knights before coming to New York. He was famously fired by Florida in 2016 after an 11-10-1 start which saw him getting into a cab outside PNC Arena in Raleigh following a loss to the Hurricanes.

Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Gallant is not the first former Rangers head coach to move to the KHL: Mike Keenan, coach of the 1994 Stanley Cup-winning team, won the KHL championship with Metallurg Magnitogorsk in 2014.

New York Rangers 2025-26 tickets: Schedule, prices, dates
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The rebuild begins now. Following a rough 2024-2025 season where the New York Rangers went a respectable but ultimately disappointing 39-36-7, the franchise cleaned house over the offseason. First, they axed Head Coach Peter Laviolette; shortly after, the club traded star winger Chris Kreider to the Anaheim Ducks where he'll play with former captain Jacob Trouba. In Laviolette's place steps in new coach Mike Sullivan who comes to the Rangers from the Pittsburgh Penguins where he led the team to a 34-36-12 record. As an added bit of intrigue, the 57-year-old was originally drafted by the Blueshirts in 1987 but held out and stayed for another season at Boston University. On the player side, the team shelled out and signed star defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov to a seven-year, $49 million contract. He and fellow new signees Derrick Pouliot, Trey Fix-Wolansky and Justin Dowling join the team's remaining nucleus — Vincent Trocheck, Igor Shestyorkin, Artemi Panarin, Adam Fox and Mika Zibanejad — on the ice. The regular season gets underway with a game against Sullivan's former Pittsburgh Penguins at NYC's Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, Oct. 7. Other notable MSG home games to keep an eye out for include matchups against Alexander Ovechkin's Washington Capitals (Oct. 12), Connor McDavid's defending NHL Western Conference champs Edmonton Oilers (Oct. 14), former Ranger K'Andre Miller's always-competitive Carolina Hurricanes (Nov. 4), an interstate showdown with Bo Horvat's New York Islanders (Nov. 8) and Mikko Rantanen's fearsome Dallas Stars (Dec. 2). Plus, you won't want to miss the return of Kreider and Trouba when their Ducks hit the Garden on Monday, Dec. 15. In 2026, they'll take on the New Jersey Devils twice at home; those games go down Wednesday, March 18 and Tuesday, March 31. Outside of the Garden, Sullivan's squad will face off against the 2025 Stanley Cup-winning Florida Panthers in the NHL Winter Classic at Miami's loanDepot Park on Friday, Jan. 2. They'll also meet with Aleksander Barkov's world champs at MSG on Sunday, March 29.

About the New York Rangers 2024-25 season In 2023-24, the Rangers went an impressive 55-23-4 and won the President's Cup before squandering their season in rough and tumble six-game Eastern Conference Championship series against the eventual Stanley Cup champion Florida Pathers. Last year wasn't quite the same. Although they kicked off the year 12-4-1, the Blueshirts hit a lull and went 4-15-0 plummeting them to eighth place in the Metropolitan Division. Subsequent rebounds couldn't quite pull them out of the cellar and the club missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020-21.

Florida Panthers complete roster by re-signing Mackie Samoskevich
Julia Demaree Nikhinson/AP The Florida Panthers have officially signed their final player from the 2025 Stanley Cup-winning squad, agreeing to a one-year deal with forward Mackie Samoskevich. The contract is worth $775,000 and finalizes a roster that already includes 14 of the top 15 forwards and six of seven defensemen from their championship lineup. With this move, Florida now stands $3.75 million over the salary cap, per PuckPedia. Mackie Samoskevich signs one-year deal, Florida Panthers exceed salary cap limit Mackie Samoskevich, Florida's first-round pick in 2021 (24th overall), earned his new deal after playing 72 games in his first full NHL season. He scored 15 goals and posted 31 points, rising from the fourth line to the top six over the course of the year. Though he began the playoffs on the second line alongside Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk, he was scratched after Game 2 of the opening round. Despite limited postseason action, Samoskevich remained positive, saying during the Stanley Cup Final, 'This is so much fun to be around, even if you're not playing… this is going to make me better.' Now signed, Samoskevich is expected to compete for a larger role, especially if Tkachuk requires surgery and misses the start of the 2025–26 season. With Florida already at its 23-man roster limit and over the salary cap, the team may need to make additional adjustments before opening night. Florida Panthers' championship core returns nearly intact The signing of Mackie Samoskevich caps off a successful offseason for the Florida Panthers, who are returning nearly all of their championship contributors. In addition to the 14 forwards, the defense remains largely the same, with only one change: Nate Schmidt joins the team on a three-year deal after the departure of one blue liner. While all NHL teams are allowed to be 10 percent over the cap during the offseason, the Panthers will need to be compliant by the start of the season. That could mean short-term injured reserve usage or other moves if Tkachuk is sidelined. Mackie Samoskevich's signing signals both continuity and potential for the Florida Panthers. As they look to defend their title, his growth and possible top-six role could be key. With nearly their full roster returning, the Panthers are set to begin the 2025–26 campaign as strong contenders once again.

Brad Marchand chose Panthers over $10 million AAV free agency offer after Stanley Cup run
NHL-Brad Marchand of the Florida Panthers (Credit: Getty Images) Brad Marchand signed a six-year, $31.5 million extension with the Florida Panthers before free agency opened. It was a significant move for the Stanley Cup-winning forward, who could have commanded far more had he tested the open market. According to NHL insider Chris Johnston, some around the league believed he would have earned up to $10 million AAV from rival clubs. But Marchand's move was more than about numbers. It reflected a deeper trust in Florida's direction and his comfort after lifting the Stanley Cup just last month. — TheRGMedia (@TheRGMedia) Utah Mammoth were ready to go all in Reports indicate the Utah Mammoth were aggressive in their pursuit of Brad Marchand. According to Utah was willing to beat any competing offer in terms of both term and cap hit. One team source shared that Marchand was originally aiming for a four-year deal with the Panthers and would have pursued a similar timeline elsewhere. Instead, the Panthers convinced him to stay with a six-year pact, sacrificing per-season income for long-term security. While that choice might not make financial sense on the surface, it says a lot about what Marchand values at this stage in his career. Panthers show clear intent by keeping stars The Florida Panthers have made it clear they are not ready to break up a winning formula. In addition to re-signing Brad Marchand, they successfully retained key players like Aaron Ekblad and Sam Bennett. By locking up Marchand early, Florida avoided a bidding war. And that likely would have priced them out, it also sent a strong message across the NHL. The Panthers are building something sustainable and players want to stay. For Marchand, the financial hit may sting, but the team chemistry. Also recent success, and long-term security offer their own rewards, and he leaves millions behind. But gains peace of mind, familiarity, and another chance to compete for a title. In an era where most chase the biggest contracts. Brad Marchand's decision proves that sometimes, winning and belonging matter more than just the paycheck.
