Indeed, Elliotte Friedman mentioned in his podcast 32 Thoughts that the New York Rangers and the Columbus Blue Jackets had contacted the head coach to gauge his interest in making a return to the NHL.
Moreover, the reputable journalist recently asserted that the Rangers may potentially announce their new head coach in the coming days, leaving room for speculation about the possibility of seeing Patrick Roy coaching the Blueshirts next season.
The General Manager of the Blue Jackets, Jarmo Kekalainen, did the same today, stating that the organization would make a decision as early as this week regarding the head coach position. According to what has been reported, Patrick Roy, Mike Babcock, Peter Laviolette, and Pascal Vincent are potential candidates.
This will be a matter to follow closely, but we are likely to have news very soon about Patrick Roy's future in the NHL.
