In a stunning development, Mike Sullivan has submitted his resignation as head coach of the New York Rangers, just five days after being appointed to the position. Sources close to the team indicate that Sullivan’s decision stems from unresolved tensions with the Rangers’ front office, particularly concerning player acquisition strategies and overall team direction. These issues reportedly led to a breakdown in communication and alignment between the coaching staff and management.

His hiring was seen as a strategic move to bring stability and a championship pedigree to the Rangers. However, the recent resignation has raised questions about the team’s internal dynamics and future direction.
