If he really wants to do coaching, then he needs experience. This would be awesome to see what he can do with the Wolfpack.
It might transition to a real NHL coaching job eventually.
That is the place for Messier, passed over in his bid to start his career behind the bench at the top, to begin. That is the place for Messier to build a foundation that will take him on the path to the NHL.
That is the place general manager Glen Sather would all but certainly be happy to place Messier in conjunction with making current head man and well respected organization soldier Ken Gernander an associate coach.
That is the place for Messier to learn and to showcase himself not merely to the Rangers, but to 30 NHL teams whose coaches operate on a carousel.
It’s not about paying dues. It’s about gaining experience independent of the experience that comes with a Hall of Fame career of 25 seasons. It’s about gaining experience leading a team from behind the bench, not from within the room and on the ice.
