The 2018 Jack Adams award winner for coach of the year has long been rumored to be tied to a few different teams and it looks like the Rangers have outbid the Seattle Kraken. Gallant has sure come a long way since the Florida Panthers fired him and made him find his own cab away from the arena. Congrats Turk!
