"The second Mike was available, we quickly and aggressively pursued him," said Chris Drury, the all-encompassing team president and general manager of the New York Rangers. "We're certainly thrilled that pursuit led us to this moment." Sullivan was an assistant coach for the Rangers from 2009-13, with Drury serving as team captain for the first two seasons before retiring in 2011. They've also worked together through leadership positions with USA Hockey, most recently with Sullivan serving as head coach and Drury as assistant GM for the 4 Nations Face-Off. "It's already a great relationship," Drury said. "I think it's only going to get better each and every day." 🔗: See more of the story at our link in bio. 📸: Peter Carr pcarrphoto ✍: Vincent Z.
