Rangers Front Office Shakeup

[1] The New York Rangers announced today that Jim Schoenfeld will take over as Assistant General Manager. Ken Gernander will replace Shoenfeld as Head Coach of the Hartford Wolf Pack, the Rangers' American Hockey League affiliate. There were additional promotions as well as Weinman points out on his blog.
This is a great move for the Rangers as Schoenfeld is well tested and is still going to have a say in what goes on with the farm. However, what is intriguing is that there are going to be dual positions for the Assistant General Manager. In addition to Schoenfeld, Cameron Hope was also named to an Assistant General Manager position, with him being in charge of hockey administration.
Time will tell how this team mentality will work out. (See Islanders circa 2007) At the same time, Sather is still the established head man and big fish. In fact, this restructuring may eliminate any rumors that former Assistant General Manager Don Maloney was actually running the show.
