The New York Rangers are adding two former players to their development organization, according to reporting from multiple outlets. Jonathan Quick is expected to join the team in a goaltending development role, described as a director-level position focused on goaltending development. Quick previously played as an NHL goaltender and is expected to take on responsibilities related to supporting and developing the club’s goalies within the organization.
Derick Brassard is also reported to be joining the Rangers development staff in an off-ice capacity as a player development assistant. Brassard’s role is described as supporting player development efforts, working with personnel across the organization to help players progress in areas identified by the team.
Both sources characterize the moves as additions to the Rangers’ development staff rather than immediate coaching assignments. The reports do not detail specific duties beyond the broad development functions, but both agree the Rangers are bringing in Quick and Brassard for their respective goaltending and player development experience.
