The Rangers look set to announce that Alain Vigneault will be the next coach of the New York Rangers, allowing Glen Sather to have his coach in place before the upcoming NHL Draft.  Vigneautl and the Rangers are reportedly working out the contract, but an announcement would appear likely in the next few days.

Vigneault travelled to New York to meet with Jim Dolan, after having impressed Glen Sather in an interview last week.  The interview appears to have cut short the search, after the Rangers also gained permission to talk to Dallas Eakins – who has since taken over the Edmonton Oilers top job, Lindy Ruff, Mark Messier and most recently John Stevens.
