The New York Rangers season is off to an awful start and Alain Vigneault’s time in New York is running out. A coaching change could be what’s best for everyone involved.

Nobody expected the New York Rangers to begin the first two weeks of the season this poorly. An offseason of changes raised question marks, but the talented roster seemed ready to put up solid results.

Unfortunately, the team’s head coach is doing everything in his power to set the team further away from their goal. Alain Vigneault’s decision making and coaching schemes have been more of a detriment than anything to his young, talented roster.

Now, the question on everybody’s mind is whether or not Vigneault is the man to lead the Rangers moving forward. There is skepticism about potential replacement candidates and the effect of making such drastic changes this early in the season. However, if things do not change, and quickly, the bench boss may be on his way out of New York.

Members of the Blue Line Station crew give their take on whether or not Alain Vigneault should be axed as the New York Rangers head coach in today’s roundtable.
