40 Wins

To be blindly optimistic about a new coach is certainly a benefit. Under the new coach David Quinn, the New York Rangers look to bounce back from two disappointing seasons. The expectation of a 40 win season in New York is somewhat a stretch. However, Going 34-39-9 last season in a year full of disappointment shines a small glimmer of hope.

David Quinn, a incredibly talented coach coming from Boston University and the Hockey East division, could help reinvent the Rangers and put them in a competitive role in the Metropolitan division.

Under the new coach, the Rangers hope to make a strong move towards a strong return to contention in the east.
