Quenneville and Bettman to Discuss NHL Coaching Future.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman will meet with former Florida Panthers coach Joel Quenneville after the playoffs to review his status with the league. Quenneville resigned in October 2021 after an independent investigation into how the Chicago Blackhawks handled a sexual assault allegation in 2010 that implicated Quenneville and other then-Blackhawks leaders for their inaction in the case. If any team wants to hire Quenneville, it will have to get permission from the Panthers to speak with him, and Quenneville must get approval from Bettman to return to the NHL.

Rangers fire coach Gerard Gallant after playoff exit.

The New York Rangers have announced that they have parted ways with head coach Gerard Gallant after the team's first-round elimination in the 2023 postseason. Gallant had a 99-46-19 record in the regular season and led the team to the Eastern Conference finals in 2022. However, the Rangers were a disappointment in the 2023 playoffs, losing in seven games to the New Jersey Devils. The decision to part ways with Gallant was reportedly influenced by feedback from Rangers players in exit meetings. The team has not yet made a decision on Gallant's assistant coaches. There is speculation that the Rangers may be interested in former Stanley Cup-winning coach Joel Quenneville, but they would need to petition the NHL in order to hire him.
