In three seasons as Rangers head coach (2018-21), Quinn compiled a 96-87-25 record. The Rangers were swept by the Carolina Hurricanes in 2020, their lone playoff appearance under Quinn.

Quinn didn’t have the Rangers team that Gallant has now but even then there’s some real argument that he didn’t get the best out of the team he had. I’m ok with interviewing all candidates but the more retreads we look at the more I hope that Yzerman is just gathering as much intel on how the rest of the league is doing things because that’s always useful.
