Pittsburgh Penguins captain and three-time Stanley Cup champion Sidney Crosby having his name mentioned in trade rumors became a bit of an offseason tradition before he agreed to a two-year contract extension this past September and before the club surprisingly parted ways with head coach Mike Sullivan in late April.

Sullivan's departure from Pittsburgh is making for a very interesting offseason for the Penguins. Who's the right coach to replace him?

The New York Rangers have hired Mike Sullivan as coach, days after he and the Pittsburgh Penguins agreed to part ways. General manager Chris Drury announced the move Friday, bringing in the organization's top candidate who was out of work for less than a full business week.
